Description

When your trusty utility tractor starts burning oil, losing power, or making noises it didn’t make when it was new, it’s usually telling you the same story—those cylinders have seen better days. Instead of shopping for a replacement tractor, this complete overhaul kit gives your John Deere’s 3-cylinder diesel engine a fresh start at a fraction of the cost of a rebuild or replacement.

What You’re Getting

Everything needed for a complete engine rebuild in one box—sleeves, pistons, rings, gaskets, valves, springs, and seals
Standard 4.19-inch bore components that restore your engine to factory specifications
Quality Tru-Power parts that meet OEM standards without the dealer price tag
Complete valve train components to get your engine breathing properly again
Three-ring pistons designed specifically for diesel duty and long life

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit fits the workhorse John Deere models that have been the backbone of small to mid-size farms for decades—the 2040, 2240, 2150, and 2255 series. These are the tractors you see mowing ditches, running rotary cutters, feeding cattle, and pulling implements around the farmstead. The 179 cubic inch diesel engine in these machines is known for reliability when properly maintained.

Made to Last

Engine rebuilds aren’t something you want to do twice, which is why this kit includes quality components built to handle the heat, pressure, and constant duty cycle of farm work. The sleeves are made to proper thickness specs, the pistons are designed for diesel combustion pressures, and all the gaskets are made from materials that can handle fuel, oil, and coolant without deteriorating.

Good to Know

This is a complete overhaul kit minus the bearings, so you’ll need to measure your crankshaft and order rod and main bearings separately. The kit note mentions checking connecting rod length and adding the appropriate rod bolts—either TP-R74194 for 2.125-inch or TP-R80033 for 2.325-inch lengths. Having your machine’s serial number handy when ordering bearings and rod bolts ensures you get the right parts the first time.
