Description
When your old IH tractor starts burning oil or losing power, it’s time for more than just new filters. These venerable Super H, HV, and W4 tractors were built to last, but after decades of farm work, that 164-cubic-inch distillate engine needs some attention to get back to pulling strong. This basic in-frame kit gives you the core components to breathe new life into your engine without the expense of a complete teardown.
What You’re Getting
- Complete sleeve and seal package keeps compression where it belongs
- Quality stepped-head pistons with rings, pins, and retainers for reliable power
- Valve-grind gasket set plus oil pan gasket seal everything up tight
- 3-1/2 inch standard bore with 3-9/16 inch overbore option for flexibility
- Tru-Power quality that meets or exceeds original specifications
Built for Real Farm Work
This kit fits the workhorses of mid-century farming—Super H and HV utility tractors that handled everything from cultivating to hay work, plus the popular Super W4 row-crop models. Whether you’re restoring a family heirloom or keeping a dependable field tractor running, these engines were designed to run on distillate fuel and built to handle whatever you threw at them.
Made to Last
Tru-Power builds their overhaul kits to meet or exceed original specifications because they know these engines work hard for a living. The sleeve seals and gaskets use materials that handle the heat cycling and vibration these old engines dish out, while the pistons are built to maintain proper compression for years of reliable operation.
Installation Notes
This is an in-frame rebuild, so you can do the work with the engine in the tractor. You’ll still want to check bore condition and have machine work done if needed. The kit includes both standard and overbore pistons, so you’ve got options depending on what your cylinders look like when you get them cleaned up.
