Description
When your Ford or New Holland tractor with a 456 turbo diesel starts burning oil, losing compression, or just doesn't have the power it used to, it's time for more than an oil change. This basic overhaul kit gives you the essential components to breathe new life into that hardworking diesel engine and get back to the business of farming.
What You're Getting
- Standard pistons and rings to restore compression and stop oil burning
- .030 main bearings and connecting rod bearings to eliminate knock and rebuild bottom end strength
- Pin bushings for proper piston pin support and smooth operation
- Complete overhaul gasket set to seal everything up tight from head to oil pan
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors like the 8360 and 8560 models from September 1995 and up, plus TM135, TM150, and TM165 tractors. These are the 120-165 HP workhorses that handle heavy tillage, big planters, and serious hay equipment. Whether you're pulling a chisel plow through tough ground or running a big round baler, this engine rebuild gets you back to full power.
Made to Last
Tru-Power components are built to handle the demands of agricultural diesel engines. The .030 bearings account for typical crankshaft wear, while the complete gasket set ensures every seal from the cylinder head to the oil pan keeps fluids where they belong. These aren't bargain parts - they're designed to give you years of reliable service.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to have your cylinder bores checked and possibly sleeved separately. The .030 bearings work for most rebuilds, but measure your crankshaft journals to be sure. If you're doing the work yourself, take your time with bearing clearances and torque specs - rushing an engine rebuild never pays off.
