Description
When your Ford tractor starts burning oil, blowing blue smoke, or just doesn't have the power it used to have, you know it's time for an overhaul. This basic engine kit contains the essential components you need to get your 268 CID diesel engine running like new again—standard pistons and rings, pin bushings, and a complete gasket set. It's everything you need for a solid rebuild without the extras you might not require.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons and rings that restore proper compression and eliminate oil consumption
- Pin bushings that ensure tight piston-to-rod connections for smooth operation
- Complete gasket set seals every joint to prevent leaks and maintain proper pressures
- Basic kit approach saves money when you don't need valves or bearings replaced
- Tru-Power brand quality that matches original equipment specifications
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit works with Ford tractors in the 5000, 5600, 6600, and 6700 series—the dependable workhorses that handle everything from field cultivation to hay operations. These are the backbone tractors of American agriculture, from utility work to pulling heavy field equipment. The 268 CID diesel engine provides the torque and fuel economy that makes these tractors so popular with farmers who need reliable power day after day.
Made to Last
Tru-Power components are built to original equipment standards, which means you're getting the same quality that came in your tractor from the factory. The pistons are designed to handle the compression ratios and operating temperatures of diesel service, while the gaskets use materials that resist the harsh chemicals and heat cycles found in modern diesel engines.
Installation Notes
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to inspect your bearings, valves, and other components separately. The .020 main bearing specification in your part number indicates your crankshaft journals have been turned once—make sure you have the matching bearings sized correctly. Most shops can handle this rebuild, but having your machine work done by someone familiar with these Ford engines makes a big difference in the final result.
