115hp Six-Cylinder Power from Ford’s 10 Series
Timik Engines supplies fully re-manufactured diesel engines specifically suited to the Ford 8210 tractor, a core model in Ford’s 10 Series range built at the Basildon factory in Essex.
Introduced in 1982 as a direct replacement for the Ford 8200, the 8210 was designed to fill the 100hp-plus sector with a naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine offering straightforward mechanicals and strong field performance.
It remained in production until 1991, when Ford’s agricultural division was acquired by Fiat and the line transitioned to New Holland.
The 8210 was produced across several Series updates, with the Series II variant introducing refinements to cab comfort and the Dual Power transmission, which offered 16 forward and 8 reverse gears.
Available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, the tractor was suited to a broad range of arable and mixed farming tasks, from heavy cultivation and ploughing to drilling, baling, and grain haulage.
Its row-crop chassis gave it strong field versatility, while the naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine earned a reputation for durability and ease of maintenance, particularly valued by operators who preferred to service their own machinery.
The engine fitted to the Ford 8210 is the Ford 401 six-cylinder, liquid-cooled naturally aspirated diesel, displacing 6.6 litres with a square bore and stroke of 112 x 112mm. It is rated at 115hp (85.8kW) gross at 2,300rpm, with a compression ratio of 16.3:1 and a firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4.
Timik Engines re-manufactures this unit to full specification, restoring the block, cylinder head, crankshaft, and rotating assembly to original factory tolerances. Where an 8210 engine has accumulated significant hours or shows signs of wear, a fully re-manufactured unit is the most reliable and cost-effective route back to full working capacity.
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.
