Description

When your Ford tractor starts burning oil, knocking, or just doesn’t have the power it used to, you know it’s time for a rebuild. After years of hard work in the fields, worn rings and tired pistons are telling you they’ve given all they can. This basic engine kit gets you back to reliable operation without breaking the bank—it’s got the core components you need for a solid rebuild.

What You’re Getting

Oversized pistons (.020 inch) and rings designed to restore proper compression and stop oil burning
Pin bushings that eliminate the knock from worn piston pins
Complete gasket set seals everything up tight from head to oil pan
Quality Tru-Power components built to handle the demands of farm work

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit is designed specifically for Ford’s 256 cubic inch, 4-cylinder diesel engines found in the 5000, 5600, 5700, 6600, and 6700 series tractors from the late ’60s through early ’80s. These workhorses powered everything from hay operations to heavy tillage, and this kit helps restore the dependable performance that made these tractors legendary.

Made to Last

The oversized pistons give you a fresh start with proper bore clearances, while the complete gasket set ensures every seal is new and reliable. These aren’t cheap import parts—Tru-Power builds components specifically for agricultural applications where durability matters more than price.

Good to Know

This is a basic kit, so you’ll need to check your cylinders for wear and have them bored .020 inch oversize to match the pistons. Also plan on inspecting your crankshaft, rods, and bearings—this kit focuses on the piston assembly and sealing components. Most farmers tackle this job during winter downtime when the tractor isn’t needed daily.
