When your older Ford or New Holland diesel starts losing compression and burning oil, it’s usually the piston rings calling it quits. This .040 oversize piston and ring kit gives you everything needed to bring that tired engine back to life after boring the cylinders to clean them up.

These are the utility and row-crop machines that handle everything from loader work and cultivation to hay operations and general farm duties where you need dependable power day after day.

Good to Know
This kit requires boring the cylinders .040 inch oversize, so you’ll need machine shop work before installation.
