Description
When your big Ford tractor starts burning oil, making noise, or just doesn't have the power it used to, it's time to get serious about an engine rebuild. This Tru-Power basic engine kit for the 456 turbo diesel contains standard pistons and rings, standard main bearings, standard connecting rod bearings, pin bushings, and a complete overhaul gasket set—everything you need to bring that engine back to life. Instead of hunting down individual parts, you get all the critical components in one kit.
What You're Getting
- Standard-size pistons with rings that restore compression and stop oil burning
- Main bearings and connecting rod bearings that handle the power these big engines put out
- Pin bushings for smooth piston operation and reduced wear
- Complete overhaul gasket set that seals everything up tight
- Tru-Power quality that's built to handle heavy farm work
Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors including the 8360 (9/1995 & up), 8560 (9/1995 & up), TM135, TM150, and TM165. These are serious row-crop and heavy tillage machines that spend their lives pulling big implements through tough conditions. Whether you're running a 12-bottom plow or a 40-foot field cultivator, your 456 turbo diesel needs to deliver consistent power without missing a beat.
Made to Last
Farm engines take a beating—dust, heat, heavy loads, and long hours are just part of the job. This basic overhaul kit uses quality materials that can handle the demands of agricultural work. The gasket set includes all the seals you need to keep oil, coolant, and combustion where they belong, while the bearings are designed to handle the torque these engines produce day after day.
Installation Notes
This is a basic kit that focuses on the core wear components—perfect for engines that don't need a complete teardown. You'll want to have your cylinders measured and checked for wear before installation. If you're doing the work yourself, make sure you have a good torque wrench and follow proper bearing clearance procedures. Take your time with the gasket installation—clean surfaces are critical for a leak-free rebuild.
