Description
When your Ford diesel tractor is burning oil, losing power, or smoking more than it should, the engine internals are telling you it's time for an overhaul. You don't need to buy every component separately or guess what you'll need—this basic overhaul kit gives you the essential parts to bring that tired engine back to life. It's the kind of straightforward rebuild kit that gets you back to work without breaking the bank.
What You're Getting
- Standard size pistons and rings that restore proper compression and stop oil burning
- Pin bushings that eliminate wrist pin knock and provide solid piston connection
- Complete gasket set seals everything from head to pan—no more leaks
- Quality main bearings with .010 oversize to restore crankshaft clearances
- All components engineered to OEM specifications for reliable performance
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford tractors with the 268 CID 4-cylinder diesel engine, commonly found in 5000, 5600, 5700, 6600, and 6700 series tractors from the late 1960s through early 1980s. These were the workhorses of many farming operations—pulling plows, running balers, and handling loader work day in and day out. Whether you're restoring a classic or keeping a reliable workhorse running, this kit has the parts you need.
Made to Last
Built by Tru-Power, this kit meets the quality standards farm equipment demands. The pistons are designed to handle the heat and pressure of diesel combustion, while the gaskets use materials that stand up to the temperature cycling and vibration that comes with farm work. You're getting components that are built to run thousands of hours, not just get you through the season.
Good to Know
This is a basic overhaul kit, so you'll want to have your machine shop check the cylinder bores, crankshaft, and connecting rods to determine if additional machining or oversized components are needed. The .010 oversize main bearings accommodate common crankshaft wear, but always measure first. A good mechanic will know exactly what else might need attention during reassembly.
