Description
When your John Deere 1520 starts knocking, burning oil, or loses compression, you know it’s time for a rebuild. Instead of hunting down individual parts or settling for a cobbled-together repair, this complete basic overhaul kit gives you everything needed to bring that 3-cylinder diesel back to life. It’s the smart way to tackle an engine rebuild—all the main components in one package, properly matched and ready to work together.
What You’re Getting
- Complete sleeve and piston assembly with 3-ring design for reliable sealing and long life
- Standard rod and main bearings engineered to handle the loads your 1520 dishes out
- Full gasket set and crankshaft seals to keep everything leak-free from day one
- Pin bushings, retainers, and all the small parts that make the difference between a good rebuild and a great one
- Keystone top compression rings that resist wear and maintain tight tolerances
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the John Deere 1520 series with its dependable 164 cubic inch, 3-cylinder diesel. These 1520 tractors are versatile machines that handle everything from loader work to light tillage, and this engine kit restores the power and reliability you count on for daily chores and seasonal work.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds these components to meet the demands of agricultural work. The 4.02-inch standard bore sleeves are designed to handle years of heavy use, while the precision-matched pistons and rings provide the compression and oil control that keeps your engine running strong between service intervals.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit, so you’ll need to check your rod bolt length and add the appropriate bolts—either TP-R74194 for 2.125-inch or TP-R80033 for 2.325-inch applications. Take time to measure the old bolts or check your service manual to get the right ones. A complete inspection of your crankshaft and cylinder head is also recommended during the rebuild process.
