When your Ford tractor starts losing power, burning oil, or blowing blue smoke out the exhaust, it’s usually time for new pistons and rings. This piston and ring set is built for the 4-cylinder, 256 CID diesel engine with 4.4-inch standard bore that powered thousands of Ford tractors through the years. A fresh piston restores compression, stops oil burning, and gets your tractor back to pulling like it should.
What You’re Getting
- Complete piston assembly with rings already installed for hassle-free installation
- Standard 4.4-inch bore size maintains original engine specifications
- Quality TISCO construction built to handle the demands of farm work
- Direct replacement for worn or damaged original pistons
Built for Real Farm Work
This piston fits Ford 5000 tractors (4/1968-1975), 5600 tractors (10/1980-1981), 5700 tractors (10/1980-1981), 6600 tractors (1975-9/1980), and 6700 tractors (1975-9/1980). These workhorses handled everything from row crop farming to heavy tillage work, and they’re still earning their keep on farms across the country. Whether you’re running a 5000 for general farm duties or putting a 6700 through serious field work, reliable compression is what keeps these tractors productive.
Made to Last
Farm engines take a beating from long hours, varying loads, and dusty conditions that would kill a car engine. This piston is engineered to handle the constant heat cycles, pressure, and vibration that come with serious farm work. The ring package seals properly against cylinder wear and maintains compression even as the engine accumulates thousands of hours.
Good to Know
Installing pistons requires tearing into the engine, so this is typically a job for an experienced mechanic or engine shop. While you’ve got the engine apart, it’s smart to check cylinders for wear, inspect connecting rods, and replace bearings if they show any signs of wear. A quality rebuild now can give you years of reliable service.
