Description
When your Ford tractor's engine starts burning oil, losing compression, or just doesn't have the power it used to, it's time to think about a rebuild. An engine that's seen 3,000-4,000 hours or more starts showing its age, and this basic overhaul kit gives you the core components to breathe new life into that reliable 304 diesel. Instead of hunting down parts one by one, you'll have the main pieces in one package to get started on bringing your tractor back to full strength.
What You're Getting
- Complete gasket set to seal up oil leaks and compression issues
- Oversized main bearings (0.030") to compensate for crankshaft wear
- Quality Tru-Power construction that matches OEM specifications
- Direct replacement parts—no modifications needed for installation
- Everything needed for the basic internal engine rebuild
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford tractors with the 304 cubic inch diesel engine, commonly found in utility and mid-size farm tractors from the 3000 and 4000 series. These workhorses spend their days pulling plows, running hay equipment, and handling loader work around the farmyard. The 304 engine was known for its durability and straightforward design, making it a good candidate for rebuilding when the time comes.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been making engine rebuild components for decades, and they understand what it takes to handle farm conditions. The gaskets use materials that stand up to diesel fuel, oil, and temperature cycles, while the bearings are engineered to the same tolerances as original equipment. Quality control ensures these parts will give you years of reliable service once properly installed.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit—you'll likely need additional components like pistons, rings, or valve train parts depending on your engine's condition. Have your machine work done before starting assembly, and don't forget to check crankshaft measurements before ordering bearings. Professional installation or experienced mechanic help is recommended, as proper torque specifications and assembly procedures are critical for a long-lasting rebuild.
