Description
When your Ford 800, 801, 900, 901, or 4000 series tractor starts burning oil, losing compression, or just feeling tired after decades of faithful service, it's time for more than a tune-up. This basic in-frame kit is built for the 4-cylinder, 172 cubic inch gas engine with 3.9-inch standard bore that powered these workhorses through the early to mid-'60s. Instead of pulling the whole engine, you can rebuild it right in the frame and get back to the field work that's waiting.
What You're Getting
- Complete set of sleeves, pistons, rings, pins and retainers for a proper rebuild
- Valve-grind gasket set that seals everything from intake to exhaust manifold
- Oil pan gasket to stop those annoying leaks under the tractor
- Quality components that'll handle the heat cycles and vibration of real farm work
Built for Real Farm Work
These Ford tractors with their 172 CID gas engines were the utility and row-crop machines that did everything from cultivating corn to running hay balers in the mid-'50s through the mid-'60s. Whether you're running an 800 series utility tractor or a 4000 row-crop machine, these engines were built to work all day and keep coming back for more. They're still popular today for smaller farms, hobby operations, and folks who appreciate straightforward, fixable machinery.
Made to Last
Every component in this kit meets or exceeds original Ford specifications, and the Tru-Power brand has been trusted by farmers for decades because they understand what it takes to handle the constant vibration and temperature cycles of tractor work. The sleeves are designed to handle thermal expansion while the gaskets use modern materials that seal better and last longer than what came from the factory.
Good to Know
This is a basic in-frame kit, which means you can do the work without pulling the engine from the tractor. You'll want to check your main and rod bearings separately since they're not included in this kit. Take time to clean and inspect the block thoroughly before assembly—it's worth doing the job right the first time.
