Description
When your IH diesel starts burning oil, losing power, or sounds like a rock crusher, it's probably time for an engine overhaul. The 414 CID six-cylinder diesel in your 815 or 966 series tractor has been the backbone of many farming operations for decades, but even these tough engines eventually need a complete rebuild to keep earning their keep. This Tru-Power overhaul kit gives you everything you need for a professional rebuild minus the bearings.
What You're Getting
- Complete set of cylinder sleeves with seals to restore proper compression and eliminate oil burning
- Cupped-head pistons with rings designed to handle diesel combustion pressures for years to come
- Pins, retainers, and bushings for smooth piston operation under heavy loads
- Full gasket set including upper and lower gasket sets to seal everything up tight
- Front and rear crankshaft seals to prevent oil leaks and keep your engine bay clean
Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work
The 815 and 966 series tractors were International Harvester's answer to farmers who needed serious pulling power for heavy tillage, big planters, and loader work. These machines spend their days handling the kind of loads that would stress lesser tractors, from breaking new ground to moving heavy round bales. The 414 CID diesel delivers the torque these jobs demand while maintaining the fuel efficiency that keeps operating costs manageable.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been building engine rebuild components for agricultural applications for decades, understanding that farm engines need parts that can handle constant heavy loads and temperature extremes. These components are manufactured to original specifications, ensuring proper fit and long-term reliability in the demanding conditions your tractor faces every day.
Installation Notes
This is a complete engine rebuild that requires disassembly of the entire powerplant, proper machine shop work on cylinder bores, and careful attention to torque specifications and clearances. Most farmers have this work done by an experienced engine rebuilder since it requires specialized tools and knowledge. Remember to source main and rod bearings separately as they're not included in this basic kit.
