Built for Real Farm Work

This service kit is designed for International Harvester tractors with 4-cylinder diesel engines that handle everything from loader work to heavy field cultivation. These engines are typically found in mid-size utility and row-crop tractors that farmers depend on for daily operations. Whether you’re running a hay operation or working row crops, these tractors see hard use and deserve quality parts when it’s time for service.

Made to Last

The kit contains quality components including valves, springs, guides, and valve keys that are built to handle the heat and pressure cycles of diesel operation. These aren’t bargain-basement parts that’ll have you tearing the engine down again next season. The gaskets use modern materials that resist the high temperatures and combustion pressures these engines produce.

Good to Know

This is a comprehensive rebuild kit, so plan on having the cylinder head serviced at a machine shop for proper valve seat work and surface preparation. Follow the manual’s torque sequence precisely during assembly, and take your time with the valve adjustment to ensure proper operation. A good cylinder head rebuild should give you many more years of reliable service.
