Description

If you’ve ever had to pull the cylinder head on your Ford New Holland tractor, you know that cylinder head bolts are one of those critical components that shouldn’t be reused. These bolts handle enormous clamping forces to keep the head properly sealed against the block, and they stretch over time. When it’s time for engine work—whether you’re replacing a head gasket, doing valve work, or rebuilding—fresh head bolts are essential for proper sealing and compression.

What You’re Getting

High-tensile strength bolt engineered to Ford New Holland specifications
Proper thread pitch and length for exact OEM replacement
Heat-treated steel construction handles the stress of repeated heat cycles
Designed to provide consistent clamping force when torqued to specification

Built for Real Farm Work

These bolts work with a huge range of Ford New Holland tractors from the reliable 1000 series utility tractors all the way up to the big TW series row-crop machines and everything in between. Whether you’re working on a three-cylinder engine in a compact tractor or a six-cylinder powerplant in a high-horsepower machine, proper head bolt torque is what keeps compression where it belongs.

Made to Last

The steel construction handles the demanding conditions of agricultural engines, and proper installation with correct torque specifications ensures reliable sealing. These aren’t hardware store bolts—they’re manufactured to handle the specific loads and temperatures that tractor engines deal with during long days in the field.

Installation Notes

Always replace head bolts when doing head work—don’t try to reuse the old ones. Follow the proper torque sequence from your service manual, usually starting from the center and working outward in a crisscross pattern. Clean the threads in the block and use a light coat of engine oil on the bolt threads unless your manual specifies otherwise. And remember, getting the torque right is just as important as using quality bolts.
