Description
When your 456 diesel starts burning oil, blowing blue smoke, or just can't pull like it used to, it's time for a complete refresh. These big Ford tractors were built to work hard, but after years of long days and heavy loads, even the best engines need attention. This basic overhaul kit gets you everything needed to bring your engine back to like-new performance without breaking the bank.
What You're Getting
- Oversized .10 inch pistons and rings that restore proper compression and stop oil burning
- Standard main bearings and connecting rod bearings for smooth operation and proper oil pressure
- Pin bushings that eliminate wrist pin knock and ensure tight tolerances
- Complete overhaul gasket set to seal everything up tight from top to bottom
- Tru-Power quality that meets OEM standards for long-lasting performance
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed specifically for Ford New Holland 8010 tractors built before May 1998, plus the 8240 and 8340 models with the 456 cubic inch diesel engine. These are serious workhorses used for heavy tillage, large acreage farming, and pulling the biggest implements. Whether you're running a chisel plow, cultivating hundreds of acres, or powering through harvest season, this engine rebuild restores the power you need.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been building engine kits for decades, and they understand what it takes to handle farm conditions. The oversized pistons account for normal cylinder wear, while quality bearings and gaskets are engineered to handle the constant load changes that come with agricultural work. This isn't a quick fix—it's a proper rebuild that'll give you years of reliable service.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit that covers the core rebuild components, so you'll want to have your cylinders bored and crankshaft turned to match the oversized parts. Most machine shops can handle this work, and having everything done right the first time means your investment will pay off for years to come. Don't forget to check your oil pump and water pump while you've got everything apart.
