Description
If you’ve got a John Deere 1530 or 2040 that’s been burning oil, smoking, or just doesn’t have the power it used to, you’re looking at an engine rebuild. This complete overhaul kit gives you everything you need to bring that 3-cylinder diesel back to like-new condition. No more guessing what parts you need or making multiple orders—this kit has it all in one box.
What You’re Getting
- Complete set of sleeves and sleeve seals that restore proper compression and stop oil burning
- New pistons with 3-ring design and keystone top compression rings for better sealing
- All pins, retainers, and bushings to ensure smooth piston operation
- Complete gasket set plus crankshaft seals to stop every leak
- New intake and exhaust valves with springs, guides, and retainers for proper breathing
- Standard rod and main bearings to handle the power your engine was meant to produce
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit’s designed for the 164 CID 3-cylinder diesel engines in John Deere 1530 and 2040 series tractors. These are the workhorses you see running hay equipment, pulling planters, and handling loader work around smaller farms. The 4.02-inch standard bore and smooth sleeves without grooves make this a straightforward rebuild that’ll last for years.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds these kits to factory specifications, so you’re getting the same quality that came in your tractor originally. The keystone top compression rings seal better and last longer than standard rings, and the complete valve train components ensure your engine breathes properly under load.
Good to Know
You’ll need to check your rod bolt length and order the right ones separately—either TP-R74194 for 2.125-inch bolts or TP-R80033 for 2.325-inch bolts. This is a complete teardown job that’s best handled by someone with engine rebuild experience, but having everything in one kit sure makes the parts ordering simple.
