Basic In-Frame Engine Kit for International Harvester 560, 656, 706, and 2000 Series Diesel Tractors

Description

When your International Harvester’s 6-cylinder diesel starts blowing blue smoke or losing power, it’s time for some serious attention. Your 560, 656, 706, or 2000 series tractor has likely served you well through countless hours of field work, but eventually those cylinder sleeves wear out and compression drops. This basic in-frame kit gets you back to full power without the expense of a complete overhaul.

What You’re Getting

• Complete cylinder sleeves and seals that restore proper compression and stop oil burning
• Precision-fitted pistons with rings that seal like new and handle diesel compression ratios
• Wrist pins and retainers engineered to handle the stress of 282 cubic inches of working diesel
• Valve-grind gasket set plus oil pan gasket to seal everything up tight
• Quality components that meet original International Harvester specifications

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit fits the workhorse 282 cubic inch diesel engines found in International Harvester’s most popular utility and row-crop tractors from the 1960s and early 1970s. These tractors handled everything from cultivating corn to running PTO-powered equipment, and this engine was known for its reliability when maintained properly. Whether you’re running a 560 utility tractor or a big 706 diesel for heavy fieldwork, this kit restores the power these machines were known for.

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. The sleeves are manufactured to precise tolerances, and the pistons are designed specifically for the compression ratios these diesels need to run efficiently. Everything in this kit is built to handle the demands of real farm work, season after season.

Good to Know

This is a basic in-frame kit, which means you’ll keep your existing valves and bearings if they’re still in good shape. It’s perfect when you need to address cylinder wear without doing a complete teardown. You’ll want to check your crankshaft and rod bearings while you’re in there, and consider having the cylinders honed for the best seal with your new sleeves.
