Complete Engine Overhaul Kit for Ford 3-Cylinder Diesel Tractors

Description

When your Ford tractor’s 158 CID diesel engine starts showing its age with low compression, oil consumption, and hard starting, it’s time for a complete rebuild. This Tru-Power engine overhaul kit gives you everything you need to bring that three-cylinder workhorse back to like-new condition. After thousands of hours pulling implements, running PTO equipment, and handling the daily grind of farm work, your engine deserves a proper rebuild with quality parts.

What You’re Getting

• Complete piston and ring set engineered for proper compression and oil control
• Full gasket set including head gasket, oil pan, valve cover, and all sealing components
• Pin bushings, cam bearings, intake and exhaust valves with springs and retainers
• Everything needed for a complete teardown and rebuild – no hunting for additional parts
• Tru-Power quality that meets or exceeds original equipment specifications

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit is designed for Ford’s reliable 158 CID 3-cylinder diesel engines found in 2000, 3000, and 4000 series tractors from the mid-1960s through early 1970s. These were the utility and row-crop tractors that handled everything from cultivating and planting to running balers and mowers. They’re still popular today on smaller farms and with folks who appreciate straightforward, dependable machinery that you can actually fix yourself.

Made to Last

Farm engines take a beating, and this overhaul kit is built to handle whatever you throw at it. The pistons and rings are designed for the thermal cycling and load variations of agricultural work, while the gaskets use materials that hold up to diesel fuel, hydraulic fluid, and temperature extremes. You’re getting the quality parts that will keep your tractor running for years to come.

Installation Notes

This is a complete teardown job that requires engine removal and machine shop work for proper boring and honing. Make sure to check your crankshaft and have it turned if needed – standard bearings are included but oversize bearings are available separately if required. Take your time with assembly and torque specifications – a proper rebuild now saves headaches later.
