The Ford Barn - View Single Post - May 1930 A engine

I 've been puttering around the the garage today, and was poking at one of my spare engines, which was stuck when I acquired it, so every now and again, I pull the spark plugs and pour some MMO in the cylinders.

Today it finally turned-over, by the fan and belt.

I noticed for the first time that the crank pulley is stamped-steel, as opposed to a casting.

Engine # is 3399xxx, which suggests May 1930.

The generator has a three-spoke cast pulley...

When did Ford drop the cast crank pulley ?

Thanks,

SC Frank
