Description

When your tractor starts burning oil, loses compression, or just doesn’t pull like it used to, it’s often telling you the cylinders need attention. This complete piston and sleeve kit gets your John Deere’s 219 CID diesel engine back to running strong, giving you the power and reliability you count on for hay season, harvest, or those long days with the loader.

What You’re Getting

Complete rebuild kit with everything you need – sleeves, pistons, rings, pins, and retainers
4.02 inch bore cylinders designed to restore original compression and power
Three-ring pistons that seal properly and control oil consumption
1-3/8 inch diameter pins and retainers built to handle diesel torque
TISCO quality construction that meets or exceeds original specifications

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit fits the 219 CID 4-cylinder diesel engines found in many John Deere 20 and 30 series tractors from the era when these machines were the backbone of American farming. Whether you’re running a 2020 for hay work, a 2030 for row crops, or other models with this proven engine, you’ll get back the smooth idle and strong pull that made these tractors legendary.

Made to Last

The 219 CID engine was built when tractors were expected to run for decades, not years. This kit matches that durability with quality materials and precise machining. The sleeves are smooth-bore without grooves, which helps rings seat properly and last longer. Everything’s manufactured to handle the heat cycles and loads that come with serious farm work.

Good to Know

This is a complete overhaul job that requires pulling the engine and proper machine shop work. Make sure your block is straight and cylinders are properly honed before installation. The serial number specification (275485 and up) ensures you get the right kit for later production engines with updated specifications.
