Description
When your Ford tractor starts losing power, burning oil, or just doesn't have the get-up-and-go it used to have, it's probably time for an overhaul. This basic engine kit gets your 456 diesel back to working the way it should, without having to source every part individually. The kit includes everything you need for the core rebuild - pistons, rings, bearings, pin bushings, and a complete gasket set.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons and rings designed for the 456 diesel's specifications
- 0.030" oversized main and connecting rod bearings for proper clearances
- Pin bushings that restore tight tolerances in your connecting rods
- Complete overhaul gasket set to seal everything up tight
- All components made by Tru-Power for reliable, OEM-quality performance
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors like the 8360, 8560, TM135, TM150, and TM165 models that came from the factory with the 456 turbo diesel engine. These are the workhorses you see pulling heavy implements, running big balers, or handling loader work day in and day out. The 456 is a proven engine that'll run for thousands of hours when properly maintained and overhauled with quality parts.
Made to Last
Engine rebuilds are investments, and you want parts that'll hold up to the demands of farm work. This Tru-Power kit uses components designed specifically for agricultural applications - not automotive parts adapted to fit. The bearings handle the loads and vibration these engines see, while the gaskets resist the temperature cycling and chemical exposure that comes with diesel operation.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to source valve train components, seals, and other wear items separately if needed. The 0.030" bearing size means your crankshaft will need to be turned to match - not a job for the average farm shop. Plan on having your machine work done by someone with the right equipment to ensure proper clearances and surface finish.
