Camshaft and Lifter Kit for John Deere 400 Series Diesel Engines

Description

When your engine starts sounding like it’s got a handful of marbles rattling around under the hood, or your tractor just doesn’t have the power it used to, there’s a good chance your camshaft and lifters have seen better days. The cam and lifters work together to open and close your engine’s valves with precise timing—when they wear out, your engine can’t breathe properly, and you’ll know it by the noise and lost performance.

What You’re Getting

• Complete camshaft designed for proper valve timing and smooth operation
• 12 valve lifters (tappets) that maintain consistent valve clearances
• Front camshaft bolt to secure everything properly in place
• All components work together as a matched set for reliable performance
• Direct replacement for your worn original parts

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit is designed specifically for John Deere 400 Series diesel engines, including the 6076T, A, and H models produced before serial number 499999. These engines powered a wide range of John Deere tractors and equipment that farmers depend on for everything from field work to material handling. Whether your machine spends its days pulling implements, running a loader, or powering PTO equipment, this camshaft kit restores the heart of your engine’s valve operation.

Made to Last

Farm engines work hard under demanding conditions, and this camshaft kit is built to handle that kind of duty. The cam lobes are properly hardened to resist wear, while the lifters are manufactured to maintain proper contact with the cam throughout thousands of operating hours. Quality materials and precise manufacturing ensure smooth operation and long service life under agricultural conditions.

Good to Know

This is a job for someone with engine experience—you’ll need to remove the timing cover and potentially pull the engine depending on your specific application. Make sure to follow proper timing procedures when installing the new cam, and consider replacing your timing chain and gears while you’ve got everything apart. It’s also a good time to check your oil pump drive since you’ll have access to it during the installation.
