Description

When you start hearing a knock from the engine compartment or notice blue smoke rolling out the exhaust stack, it’s time for some serious attention under the hood. An engine rebuild is never the news you want to hear, but this complete overhaul kit takes the guesswork out of getting your John Deere back to running like new. It’s got everything you need except the bearings—all the major wear parts that bring a tired 359 cubic inch diesel back to life.

What You’re Getting

Complete cylinder sleeves and seals to restore proper compression and oil control
Standard bore 3-ring pistons designed for reliable power and long service life
All pins, retainers, and bushings needed for proper piston assembly
Full gasket set including crankshaft seals to stop leaks and keep fluids where they belong
New intake and exhaust valves with springs and retainers for proper breathing

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit fits the workhorses of the John Deere 40 and 50 series lineup—the 2940, 2950, and 2955 models that spent their days pulling planters, running balers, and handling loader work around the farmyard. These were solid, reliable tractors that could handle long days without complaint, and this overhaul kit brings that same dependability back to your machine.

Made to Last

The Tru-Power brand has been building engine components for decades, and this kit reflects that experience. The sleeves are properly honed for the right piston clearance, the gaskets are made from materials that handle diesel fuel and high temperatures, and the valves are engineered to handle the combustion pressures of farm work.

Good to Know

This is a complete overhaul kit minus the bearings—you’ll need to order main and rod bearings separately based on your crankshaft measurements. The pistons are marked with a “B” designation and work with standard compression engines. Plan on having the block checked for cracks and the head surfaced as part of any proper rebuild job.
