Description
When your Ford 5000 starts losing power or burning more oil than usual, it's time to get serious about an engine rebuild. This kit is specifically designed for 5000 tractors from 1965 through March 1968 with the 4-cylinder 233 CID diesel engine. Sometimes the best fix is getting back to the basics and doing it right.
What You're Getting
- .020 inch oversized pistons and rings to restore proper compression and power
- Pin bushings to eliminate that annoying piston slap and connecting rod wear
- Complete gasket set so you won't be hunting for seals halfway through the job
- Everything you need for a solid rebuild without the extras you might not need right now
Built for Real Farm Work
The Ford 5000 was built when tractors were meant to work every day, and this 233 cubic inch diesel was the heart of many farming operations. Whether you're running a brush hog, pulling a disc, or powering a PTO-driven baler, this engine delivered reliable power for decades. These kits are built for the same kind of work your tractor was meant to do.
Made to Last
This is a genuine Tru-Power kit, so you're getting quality components that meet the same standards as what Ford originally put in your tractor. The oversized pistons account for normal cylinder wear, and the complete gasket set ensures everything seals up tight when you're done.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to have your cylinders bored .020 over to match the pistons. Most machine shops can handle this work, and it's often needed anyway after 50+ years of service. The kit gives you the core components for a solid rebuild without bearings or valves—perfect if you're doing the work yourself and want to inspect everything first.
