Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford 5000 and 6000 series tractors with the 268 CID diesel engine—the tractors that spent decades handling everything from cultivation to hay making. Whether you've got a workhorse 5000 series pulling implements or handling loader duties, these engines were built to run hard and run long. When properly rebuilt, they'll give you many more years of dependable service.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been supplying engine rebuild components for decades, and they understand what it takes to hold up under farm conditions. The bearings are manufactured to handle the loads these diesels generate, while the gaskets use materials that resist the heat and pressure cycles of diesel operation. This isn't the cheapest kit you'll find, but it's built to do the job right.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit—it covers the essential wear items but doesn't include valves, springs, or cylinder sleeves. If your cylinders are worn or scored, you'll need to factor in machine work or sleeves separately. A good tip from experienced mechanics: when you're this far into the engine, it's smart to check your injection pump timing and clean your fuel system while everything's accessible.
