Description
When your Ford tractor's 456 turbo diesel starts showing its age—maybe you're seeing blue smoke at startup, hearing rod knock, or watching your oil pressure drop—it's time for a rebuild. This basic overhaul kit gives you all the core components to breathe new life into that hardworking engine and get back to the field work that can't wait.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons and rings that seal tight and handle the heat of turbo operation
- 0.040 inch main bearings and connecting rod bearings for smooth, reliable operation
- Pin bushings that eliminate play and keep everything running true
- Complete overhaul gasket set to seal up all the wear points and prevent leaks
- Everything sized right for your 456 cubic inch turbo diesel
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the bigger Ford and New Holland tractors that handle heavy field work—from the 8360 and 8560 row-crop machines to the TM135, TM150, and TM165 utility tractors. These are the tractors you count on for cultivating, planting, and harvest work where downtime costs you money.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds this kit to handle the demanding conditions that turbocharged diesel engines face every day. The pistons are designed for the higher compression and heat, while the bearings are engineered to handle the extra stress that comes with turbo operation.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to order engine bearings, valves, and other components separately based on your engine's condition. Have your machine shop check the crank and rods to determine what bearing sizes you need. It's also a good time to check your turbo while the engine's apart—better to catch problems now than after reassembly.
