1955farmall400 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I noticed HyCapacity sells a brand called “Absolute” for their engine rebuild kits, Does anyone know the quality of them or are they just rebranded Reliance? I’m looking for a kit for a d360 and was told Reliance was the only one making kits and would prefer not to use them if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska1206 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 The story I heard is that Absolute was created by former Reliance employees, the exact reasoning I'm not sure, if they wanted to offer a better quality product than Reliance, and get away from all the comebacks that Reliance was experiencing a while back. Never have dealt with any of the engine parts from Absolute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIHTECH Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Call Hy-Capacity and start asking questions, see where it goes. I too would be curious of the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerFixEmUp Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I had a guy that was thinking of overhauling a 756 with a 310. I emailed my rep for A&I about it and said I’d rather not use Reliance and he told me they don’t sell anything Reliance, I emailed back what it was and haven’t got a reply yet. At one time they had Richland. Did a 358 with Richland and turned out good. I believe they have Maxiforce too but not for a 360 or 310/358.

1955farmall400 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 So guys, another brand I stumbled upon is Federal Power Products out of Oregon. They claim to make their kits in house. Any word on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highcotton Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Engine kits I get from Hy-Cap have all been MaxiForce. Got a kit in last week from A&I, it was a MaxiForce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not like they're going to say, "Oh all our stuff is JUNK! I wouldn't buy it if I were you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
