The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Pat- No I didn't make it, hadta work. Tried following online but that auction service didn't seem to allow it. I'm still looking, I have calls in to so many places I have a big notebook to try to keep track. I even missed the County Super 6 for sale in KY, maybe by minutes. I would have jumped on th...

Bob, everything you need is on this board or linked to. On the main page you will find manuals. Search for Belzona in forums for repairing rusted out sealing ring bosses. As far as going for a turbo conversion, you are probably money ahead selling your engine on this board to someone in need and pur...

Thanks for the responses. I have I believe a 62 super major,I think it should have the FL head. Tractor engine was mostly disassembled and head/sump/rods missing. Minimec pomp. Engine block stamped 08B762992. S/N plate missing from tractor. I've recently begun chasing leads for supers, after finding...

Greetings, thought I'd give the board members a chance to gain some shelf space. Looking to rebuild my SMD block. I need a complete head with pushrods, rockers, cover, injectors and head bolts. SMD connecting rods. A sump with oil pick up and cover. Thats the big pieces I need to get the overhaul st...

I'm Back with a few more questions and more info to share. I finally split my basket case SMD, to get more measurements. All was going well until I got to the clutch part. It was then I realized one more reason Not to start with a Super for a conversion project. Without using a very thick adapter pl...

Fordson Lovers, I'm back with more questions and few answers. Brownsmule, could you post a link to the SAE data? I haven't found much comprehensive data, especially regarding manufacturers' flywheel housing bolt patterns. Some like a small block chevy and ford are very complete, others such as the F...

Thank You for the kind words, as Red Green Says" We're all in this together" . Brownsmule, I agree, in a perfect world we would all be able to ship an engine from europe for a few dollar's, peso's, or euro's. Here in North America Fordson diesel blocks seem to be golden. I still think they are hard ...

I'm back with more questions and some answers. Firstly some un verified info. SAE 1- ID= 20.125 in. Bolt Circle 20.875 in. 12 holes . 14 in clutch. SAE 2- id 17.625 in BC 18.375 in. 12 holes 11.5 in clutch. SAE 3 - 16.125 id BC 16.875 in 12 holes 11.5 in clutch. Some motors are multiple pattern or a...

Greetings all, I thought a post with engine fitment issues and workarounds would be helpful to all of us that cannot find reasonably priced blocks for rebuild. I have seen mentioned adapter plates, even that some have them in reserve in the back shop. My main question is Does anyone have a blueprint...
