Built for Real Farm Work
Your John Deere 1520 was built as a reliable utility tractor for general farm work, from loader operations to field cultivation. This overhaul kit restores that dependable power whether you’re running a rotary cutter, pulling a disc, or handling daily chores around the farm. The 164-cubic-inch diesel in these tractors is known for longevity when properly maintained.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been building engine rebuild kits for decades, understanding that farm engines need to handle varying loads, long hours, and tough conditions. The components in this kit are manufactured to handle the demands of agricultural work, from the precision-machined sleeves to the heat-treated valve components.
Good to Know
This is a comprehensive rebuild project that requires proper engine work experience and tools. You’ll need to measure rod bolt length and add either TP-R74194 bolts for 2.125-inch length or TP-R80033 for 2.325-inch applications—check your existing bolts before ordering. Take your time with the assembly and follow proper torque specifications for reliable long-term operation.
