Description

When you’re dealing with low compression, blue smoke, or that telltale knocking sound from your Ford 2000 or 3000’s three-cylinder gas engine, it’s time for a rebuild. This basic overhaul kit gives you everything you need to get your workhorse tractor back to running like it did when it rolled off the lot in the ’60s and ’70s.

What You’re Getting

Standard pistons and rings designed to restore proper compression and reduce oil consumption
Complete gasket set seals everything up tight from the oil pan to the head
Pin bushings that eliminate that annoying piston slap and connecting rod noise
Everything sized for the 4.2-inch standard bore—no machine work needed if your cylinders are still good

Built for Real Farm Work

These Ford 3000 and 2000 series tractors are everywhere on small to medium farms, perfect for loader work, mowing, raking, and light tillage. The 158 cubic inch three-cylinder gas engine is simple and reliable, but after 50-plus years, even the best engines need attention. Whether you’re running hay equipment, working a garden tractor business, or keeping the farm running, these tractors earn their keep every day.

Made to Last

This Tru-Power kit uses quality components that match the durability Ford built into these engines. The rings are designed to handle the heat cycling and pressure these workhorses see, while the gaskets are made from materials that won’t fail when things get hot. You’re not just fixing a problem—you’re setting yourself up for years of reliable service.

Good to Know

This is a basic kit, so you’ll still need main and rod bearings if yours are worn. If your cylinders are scored or out of round, you’ll need to bore them out and get oversized pistons. Most folks can tackle this rebuild in a weekend if the block’s in good shape and you’ve got the right tools.
