Description
When your tractor starts losing power, burning oil, or you notice that telltale blue smoke at startup, it's time to think about an engine rebuild. This basic overhaul kit gives you the foundation pieces you need to get your Ford diesel breathing like new again—without the full expense of a complete rebuild if you don't need all the bells and whistles.
What You're Getting
- Oversized pistons and rings at 0.020" over standard bore for worn cylinders
- Pin bushings to restore proper piston pin clearance and eliminate knock
- Complete gasket set covers everything from head to oil pan
- Tru-Power quality parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications
- Basic kit format keeps costs down while fixing the main wear points
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit works on Ford and New Holland tractors with the 304 cubic inch diesel engine. These are solid, dependable powerplants that have pulled countless plows, balers, and mowers over the years. When properly rebuilt, they'll give you many more seasons of reliable service—the kind of longevity that made these tractors favorites on family farms.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been building engine kits for agricultural applications for decades. They understand that farm engines work harder and longer than most, so their parts are built to handle the constant load cycling and temperature swings that come with real field work. The gaskets resist the chemicals and temperature extremes diesel engines create.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, which means it includes the essentials but not bearings—you'll need to measure your crank and order those separately based on what you find. The 0.020" oversize pistons are perfect for engines that are worn but not badly damaged. If you're handy with engine work, you can tackle this yourself, but having a machine shop check bore taper and deck the block is always smart money.
