Description
When your old Ford diesel is burning oil, losing compression, or just not pulling like it used to, it's time for an overhaul. This isn't just about fixing what's broken—it's about getting that reliable power and fuel economy back so you can count on your tractor through another busy season. This Tru-Power basic overhaul kit gets your engine back to where it should be without breaking the budget.

- Pin bushings and retainers to ensure smooth piston operation through thousands of hours
- Everything precisely manufactured to restore your engine's compression and power
Built for Real Farm Work
Ford's 268 cubic inch diesel was a workhorse that powered many of their mid-range tractors through decades of farming. Whether you're running hay equipment, working ground, or handling daily chores, this engine was built to pull steady and keep running. That's the kind of reliability you get back when you rebuild it right.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been building engine kits for farmers who need parts that hold up to real-world conditions. The bearings are manufactured to handle the heavy loads and long hours that come with farm work, while the gaskets use materials that stay sealed through temperature swings and engine vibration.
Good to Know
Before you start tearing into the engine, make sure you have the machine work done first—boring, grinding, and any welding should be completed before assembly. Check your crankshaft journals to confirm you need the .030 bearings rather than standard size. Having a good torque wrench and following proper sequences makes all the difference in how long your rebuild lasts.
