Description

This Tru-Power basic overhaul kit gives you the essential components to breathe new life into that 456 turbo diesel and get back to the heavy work these machines were built for.

Built for Real Farm Work
This kit is designed for the 456 turbo diesel engine found in Ford New Holland's workhorse tractors like the 8360, 8560, TM135, TM150, and TM165 models. These are the tractors you count on for heavy tillage, large-scale planting, harvesting support, and versatile farming operations from livestock work to precision agriculture. When you're pushing 150-180 horsepower day in and day out, you need an engine rebuild that can handle the demands.
Made to Last
This is a basic kit, which means it focuses on the wear items that matter most—pistons, rings, bearings, and gaskets. It's built with the same quality standards as the original parts, so you know it'll handle the heat, pressure, and constant use that comes with serious farming. The 0.020" main bearings included in this kit provide the proper clearances for reliable operation.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll want to have your machine shop check the cylinders, crank, and other components during disassembly. It's always smart to replace your filters and fluids when you're doing this level of work. Take your time with assembly—proper torque specs and break-in procedures will reward you with years of reliable service.
