Built for Real Farm Work
These Ford tractors are found on farms everywhere, handling everything from hay operations and livestock work to row crop farming and heavy tillage. Whether you’re running a 4000 series for general farm duties or putting a 4600 through heavy field work like plowing and disking, this piston is designed to handle the constant load changes and temperature swings that come with real farm work. The 4.2-inch bore size keeps your engine at its original displacement and power output.
Made to Last
TISCO builds these pistons to handle the demanding conditions Ford diesel engines face every day. The aluminum alloy construction dissipates heat effectively while maintaining dimensional stability, and the precision machining ensures proper ring seating and oil control. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a long-term solution that’ll keep your tractor running strong for years.
Good to Know
This is a standard bore piston, so your cylinders need to be in good shape or honed to original specifications. You’ll want to check cylinder taper and out-of-round before installation—if your bores are worn beyond limits, you’ll need oversized pistons instead. Always replace piston rings when installing new pistons, and take your time with the ring installation to avoid breakage.
