Description
When your trusty Massey Ferguson starts losing compression, burning oil, or just doesn’t have the power it once did, chances are it’s time for an engine rebuild. The legendary Perkins 4.248 engine that powered countless Massey Ferguson tractors was built to work hard day after day. This comprehensive overhaul kit gets your 4-cylinder diesel back to running like new, giving you all the major components needed to restore compression and power without breaking the bank on bearings you might not need.
What You’re Getting
- Complete sleeve and seal package that restores proper bore dimensions and prevents oil burning
- New pistons, rings, pins, and retainers engineered to handle the demands of agricultural work
- Pin bushings that eliminate the knock and wear from years of hard use
- Complete gasket set that seals everything up tight from head to oil pan
- Front and rear crankshaft seals to stop those annoying oil leaks for good
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the MF 290 series, 294-4 series, and 690 series tractors equipped with the Perkins 4.248 diesel engine. Whether you’re running a 290 for hay work, using a 294-4 around the dairy, or putting a 690 through heavy tillage, these tractors earned their reputation in operations where downtime costs money. The angled injector design in the cylinder head makes these engines particularly efficient, and this kit maintains those tight tolerances.
Made to Last
Tru-Power components are built to handle the heat, pressure, and vibration that farm engines face every day. The sleeves are precision-machined to exact specifications, while the piston rings provide the proper seal without excessive drag. Quality gaskets use materials that won’t shrink or crack under temperature cycling, and the seals maintain their flexibility through thousands of hours of operation.
Good to Know
This is a basic kit without bearings, so you can inspect your existing rod and main bearings to see what actually needs replacement. Most rebuilders appreciate having that flexibility rather than paying for bearings that might still be good. Plan on a complete teardown and thorough cleaning of all components. If you’re doing the work yourself, take plenty of pictures during disassembly—it’ll save you headaches during reassembly.
