Engine Overhaul Kit for John Deere 1530 and 2040 Series 3-Cylinder Diesel Tractors

Description

When your John Deere’s engine starts using oil, blowing smoke, or just doesn’t have the power it used to, you know it’s time for a rebuild. Instead of buying a replacement tractor or hunting around for a good used engine, this complete overhaul kit gives you everything you need to bring that 3-cylinder diesel back to life. You’ll save thousands compared to other options and end up with an engine that’s basically brand new.

What You’re Getting

• Complete rebuild in one box—sleeves, pistons, rings, valves, gaskets, and seals all included
• OEM-quality parts that meet or exceed original specifications for reliable performance
• 3-ring pistons with keystone top compression rings for better sealing and longer life
• Fresh intake and exhaust valves, springs, and guides to restore proper breathing
• Complete gasket set and crankshaft seals to stop those annoying leaks

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit fits the 164 cubic inch 3-cylinder diesel found in John Deere 1530 and 2040 series tractors. These are solid utility tractors that handle everything from hay operations to loader work, and when properly rebuilt, this engine will give you many more years of dependable service. The 4.02 inch standard bore size means no machine work needed if your cylinders are in decent shape.

Made to Last

Tru-Power has been making engine rebuild kits for decades, and they understand what it takes to hold up under farm conditions. These parts are built to handle the heat, vibration, and long hours that come with agricultural work. The sleeve design with no grooves keeps things simple while providing excellent cylinder sealing.

Good to Know

This is the “less bearings” version, so you’ll need to order rod and main bearings separately based on your crankshaft’s condition. Don’t forget to check your connecting rod bolt length—you’ll need either TP-R74194 bolts for 2.125 inch length or TP-R80033 for 2.325 inch length. Having everything properly torqued with fresh bolts is worth the extra few dollars for peace of mind.
