Built for Real Farm Work
These kits fit the 164 CID distillate engines that powered many classic International Harvester tractors from the Farmall era. Whether you’re restoring a vintage machine for shows or keeping a working tractor in service, this kit provides the foundation for a reliable rebuild. These engines were workhorses in their day, handling everything from plowing and cultivating to belt work and loader duty on countless farms.
Made to Last
International Harvester built these engines to run all day, and this rebuild kit maintains those standards. The sleeves are cast to handle the thermal cycling that comes with farm work—cold morning starts followed by hours of steady operation. Quality pistons and rings mean the rebuild will hold up under the loads these tractors were designed to handle, season after season.
Good to Know
This is a complete teardown job that requires machine shop work for proper cleaning and inspection. The standard bore is 3-1/2 inch, but you’ll want to check cylinder condition and crankshaft journals before ordering. Most shops recommend replacing the oil pump and water pump while you’re this deep into the engine. Take your time on assembly—these old engines reward careful work with decades of reliable service.
