Description
When your trusty Ford New Holland tractor starts burning oil, knocking at startup, or just doesn't have the power it used to, it's time for an engine refresh. This basic overhaul kit 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 456 turbo diesel back to life without the expense of a full rebuild.
What You're Getting
- Quality pistons and rings that restore proper compression and stop oil consumption
- Standard main and rod bearings that eliminate knock and provide reliable lubrication

Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors including the 8360 and 8560 from 9/1995 and up, plus TM135, TM150, and TM165 models. These are the heavy-duty row-crop and utility tractors that handle everything from tillage work to hay production, loader operation to heavy transport jobs. The 456 turbo diesel is known for its reliability when properly maintained, and this overhaul kit gets it back to factory specifications.
Made to Last
Farm engines work hard in dusty, demanding conditions, and this kit is built to handle that reality. The pistons are designed for the thermal stresses of turbo operation, while the bearings provide the oil clearances your engine needs for proper lubrication under load. Quality gaskets ensure proper sealing even when your engine is working at full power during busy seasons.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll want to have your crankshaft checked and machined if needed before installation. Most experienced mechanics recommend checking cylinder bore condition too - if the cylinders are scored or out of round, you'll need machine work before this kit will deliver its best performance. Installation requires standard engine rebuild tools and knowledge of proper torque specifications.
