Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford New Holland tractors with the 456 diesel engine, including models like the 8010, 8240, and 8340. These are serious workhorses used for heavy field operations like plowing, disking, and pulling large implements. The 456 diesel is known for its reliability and torque, making it popular on farms where you need dependable power day after day.
Made to Last
Tru-Power components are manufactured to meet original equipment specifications, so you know they'll handle the stresses of farm work. The oversized bearings compensate for typical crankshaft wear, while the pistons and rings restore compression for full power output. Quality metallurgy and precise tolerances ensure this overhaul will give you years of reliable service.
Good to Know
This basic kit includes the essential internal components but doesn't cover valve train parts - perfect if your valves are still in good shape. Before starting, measure your crankshaft journals to confirm 0.030 is the right size. Most experienced mechanics recommend checking cylinder bore condition and having machine work done if needed before assembly. Always follow proper torque specifications and use quality assembly lubricant for best results.
