This basic overhaul kit is exactly what you need to rebuild your 304 CID diesel engine without breaking the bank.

Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed specifically for Ford 304 CID diesel engines, the reliable powerplant found in many Ford tractors from the 1960s and 1970s. Whether you're running a 5000 series utility tractor for hay work or using your Ford for loader duty around the barn, this 304 engine was built to handle the demands of farm life. These engines were commonly found in 5000 series tractors and other Ford models known for their durability and straightforward maintenance.
Made to Last
Farm engines take a beating from dust, heat, and heavy loads, which is why this kit uses quality materials that can handle the punishment. The pistons are properly sized and the bearings are manufactured to precise tolerances. All gaskets are designed to seal properly and stay sealed, even under the pressure and temperature swings that come with hard farm work.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to have your cylinders checked and possibly bored if they're worn beyond standard limits. The .030 main bearings indicate this kit is set up for a crankshaft that's been turned .030 under, so make sure that matches your engine's condition. If you're doing the work yourself, take your time with the bearing installation—proper clearances are critical for long engine life.
