Description
When your Ford 2000 starts burning oil or losing power after decades of faithful service, you don't need to panic about a complete teardown. This 158 cubic inch, 3-cylinder diesel was designed to run all day without complaint, and sometimes a good basic rebuild is all it takes to get things running right again. This kit gets you back to business without breaking the bank.
What You're Getting
- .020 oversized pistons and rings that clean up worn cylinders and restore proper compression
- Valve-grind gasket set so you can refresh the head while you're at it
- Oil pan gasket to stop those annoying drips under the tractor
- Tru-Power quality that meets or exceeds original specifications for reliable farm use
Built for Real Farm Work
The Ford 2000 was built for small to medium farms where you need a reliable tractor that can handle everything from loader work to field cultivation. Whether you're moving hay, running a brush hog, or doing tillage work, this engine was built to handle steady use without complaint. The 158 CID 3-cylinder diesel gives you enough power for serious work while keeping fuel costs reasonable.
Made to Last
The pistons are built to handle the compression ratios these diesels need, while the gaskets use materials that won't fail from heat cycling between cold morning starts and hot summer shutdowns. This is a basic kit, so you'll need to check your main and rod bearings separately, but it covers the essentials for getting worn cylinders back to proper specs.
Good to Know
This is an in-frame rebuild, which means you can do the work without pulling the engine completely apart. The .020 oversize pistons give you room to clean up cylinders that have seen years of service. You'll want to check cylinder bore condition and have any machine work done before assembly. It's also a good time to service your injection pump and check valve timing while you're this deep into things.
