Description
When your Ford 4000 starts burning oil, blowing smoke, or just doesn't have the pull it used to, it's likely time to get into that 3-cylinder diesel for some serious attention. These reliable 3-cylinder diesels are workhorses that can run for thousands of hours, but eventually everything wears out. This basic in-frame kit gets you back to strong, clean-running power without having to source dozens of individual parts.
What You're Getting
- Oversized .020" pistons and rings that give new life to cylinders with minor wear
- Complete valve-grind gasket set that seals everything from head to oil pan
- Quality oil pan gasket that stops those annoying drips under your tractor
- Thick .037" head gasket designed to handle the compression these diesels need
Built for Real Farm Work
This pipe set fits Ford's reliable workhorse lineup including 4000 models and the popular 2000, 3000 series along with their newer counterparts like the 2600, 3600, 4600, 2610, 3610, and 4610 tractors. These are the do-everything tractors on small to medium farms—perfect for loader work, hay operations, field cultivation, and the hundred other jobs that keep your operation running. The 201 cubic inch diesel with its 4.4" bore was built to handle whatever you throw at it, from plowing to hay making to loader work.
Made to Last
The Tru-Power brand has been trusted by farmers for decades, and they understand what it takes to handle the constant vibration and temperature cycles of tractor work. Tru-Power builds their overhaul kits to meet or exceed original specifications because they know these engines work hard for a living. 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.
Installation Notes
This is a basic in-frame rebuild, so you'll need your cylinders checked for bore wear and taper before installing those oversized pistons. This is a complete teardown job that requires machine shop work for cleaning and inspection. You'll want to check cylinder bore condition, crankshaft journals, and head flatness before reassembly. Since you're this deep into the engine, it's a good time to check your injection pump and water pump while everything's apart.
