Description
There’s nothing like hearing your engine running rough, burning oil, or losing compression to remind you that even the toughest tractors eventually need some tender loving care. When your Ford’s 3-cylinder diesel starts blowing white smoke, using oil, or just doesn’t have the power it used to, this basic overhaul kit gets you started on bringing it back to life without breaking the bank.
What You’re Getting
- Complete set of .020″ oversize pistons and rings for rebuilding worn cylinders
- Pin bushings that restore proper piston pin clearances and eliminate knock
- Full gasket set seals everything up tight from head to oil pan
- Quality Tru-Power components built to handle the demands of farm work
- Everything you need for the top end rebuild except rod and main bearings
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits Ford’s reliable 175 cubic inch, 3-cylinder diesel that powered many of their utility and row-crop tractors. These engines were workhorses in their day – whether you were cultivating, mowing, or running a loader around the farmyard. The 4.2″ bore design was known for its durability and fuel economy, making it perfect for daily chores and seasonal fieldwork.
Made to Last
Tru-Power has been rebuilding engines for farmers for decades, so they know what works and what doesn’t. The oversize pistons give you a fresh start when your cylinders are worn, and the rings are designed to seal properly even after thousands of hours of hard work. The complete gasket set uses quality materials that won’t shrink, crack, or leak after a few heat cycles.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you’ll need to order your rod and main bearings separately based on your specific clearances. The .020″ oversize pistons mean your cylinders will need to be bored and honed to the proper size – not a job for the average farm shop. Plan on having a machine shop handle the cylinder work while you tackle the reassembly.
