The Ford 550 digger engine has earned a reputation for robustness, reliability, and efficiency since its initial introduction.
Popular among construction and agricultural professionals, its endurance under harsh conditions has made it a consistently favoured choice.
This diesel powerhouse continues to deliver strong performance, reliability, and simplicity of maintenance, making it as valued today as when it first rolled off the production line.
Originally designed to meet demanding workloads, the Ford 550 digger engine’s straightforward mechanical design allows for ease of maintenance, repair, and remanufacturing, ensuring longevity and cost-effectiveness for its operators.
Timik Engines, based near Southampton in Hampshire, is proud to offer remanufactured Ford 550 digger engines, professionally restored by our experienced technicians on-site.
As a trusted member of the Federation of Engine Remanufacturers, all our engines comply with rigorous BSI AU 257:2002 standards, providing confidence in performance and durability.
All engines are built to order, and pricing is based on rebuild of your existing engine by Timik Engines, we can expertly rebuild your Ford 2000 diesel tractor engine, ensuring the highest quality standards.
If an engine is required on an exchange basis, Timik Engines can source an engine to rebuild on an exchange basis and this will incur an additional surcharge. Please contact us with your fuel injection pump number, and the machine model it is fitted to prior to booking your engine in for remanufacture.
The engine block is bored back to standard with new liners fitted. The cylinder head is remanufactured with valve seats re-cut and new valves fitted. The crankshaft is ground to precise tolerances.
All engines are rebuilt in our clean workshop with new pistons and rings, bearings, oil pump, water pump, and complete gasket set. Fuel injection equipment is remanufactured and turbochargers replaced where applicable.
Every engine is dynamometer tested to confirm correct power output, oil pressure, and operating temperatures. Engines are painted and prepared for delivery with full documentation.
Prices exclude VAT.
Ford tractor engine blocks are prone to microscopic pores and casting voids that can allow coolant to seep into the oil over time. Block porosity treatment seals these voids using a vacuum impregnation process, where resin is drawn into any leakage paths and cured under pressure. This significantly extends engine life and reduces the risk of coolant contamination after rebuild. We recommend this treatment for all Ford engines where long-term reliability is a priority.
All engines are supplied on an exchange basis. You send us your existing engine and we return a fully remanufactured unit. If you do not have a donor engine, contact us to discuss surcharge options.
Donor engines must be complete (block, head, crankshaft, and major castings intact). Engines with severe damage may incur additional charges. Contact us before dispatch for assessment.
