Description
When your Ford’s 256 cubic inch diesel is burning oil, running rough, or just doesn’t have the power it used to, it’s time to get serious about a rebuild. These 4-cylinder diesels were built tough, but after decades of hard farm work, even the best engines need attention. This basic in-frame kit gives you the essential components to bring that engine back to dependable performance without breaking the bank.
What You’re Getting
- Oversized .030 inch pistons and rings for cylinders that need boring
- Complete valve-grind gasket set seals everything from head to oil pan
- Quality components designed specifically for the 4.4 inch bore of these diesel engines
- Direct replacement parts that meet original Ford specifications
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the workhorse Ford 5000, 5600, 5700, 6600, and 6700 series tractors from the late 1960s through early 1980s. These machines were the backbone of medium-sized farming operations, handling everything from plowing and cultivating to loader work and hay making. The 256 CID diesel was known for reliability when properly maintained.
Made to Last
The Tru-Power brand has been trusted by farmers for decades, and they understand what it takes to handle the constant vibration and temperature cycles of tractor work. Components are built to handle the compression ratios and heat cycles these diesels produce during long days in the field.
Good to Know
This is a basic in-frame kit, so you’ll need the engine bored .030 over and the cylinders will need professional machine work. You’ll want to check cylinder bore condition, crankshaft journals, and head flatness before reassembly. Most rebuilders recommend replacing the water pump and oil pump while you’re this deep into the engine. Perfect winter shop project when the tractor’s not needed daily.
