Ford Industrial engine
Guys,
This is just a shot in the dark. Maybe someone can help: I'm trying to help a friend of mine with a Ford Industrial engine in a wood chipper and can find very little to nothing about it. I'm wondering if any of you might suggest a Forum that is familiar with these things? Thanks so much Jim I also posted this in the Model A section |

I know they were used on the back of road sanders in the mid 60's in Massachusetts. I just thought it a long shot though call Dalton tractor in Dalton Massachusetts. I don't even know if they are still in business . That is where we use to get parts for ours. |

Re: Ford Industrial engine
We would need more information as to its type & number of cylinders to be of help. Photos would also help. FoMoCo has been manufacturing industrial powerplants since the begining.

Re: Ford Industrial engine
Sorry for the lack of pics
It's an overhead valve 4 cylinder engine with the distributor on the side center. There was an information tag on the valve cover, but it's totally useless now. It uses a Marvel Schebler updraft carburetor. I've been told the same engine is used (was) on forklifts, water pumps, etc. Have no idea of year of Mfg, etc This engine is large? |

Re: Ford Industrial engine
Get some pics of it, might be the same/similar as used in tractors, there should be a stamp pad on the block, opposite of the exhaust side, just below the head with the serial number.
Then maybe try the tractor sites (like yesterdays tractor, etc)...I got a lot of help on a Ford Industrial Diesel I had in an air compressor, was basically the same engine used in Fordson tractors. |

Re: Ford Industrial engine
The only Ford 4 cylinder engine I can picture that had a valve cover (OHV) and an updraft type intake manifold would be a Ford tractor engine. Especially with a Marvel Schebler updraft carburetor.

Re: Ford Industrial engine
There were two industrial engines of the type you describe. They were the 134cid and the 172cid. The 134 engine is basically the same as the 53-56? jubilee and 600 tractor engine. The 172 is the same as the 800 series farm tractor. There were variations such as lp gas manifolds. You should be able to locate parts easily for either engine. You can get a parts book from any Ford Industrial engine dealer.

Re: Ford Industrial engine
It may also be English Ford like the Fordson Major or Super Major but I don't know if they ever imported just the engines over to the USA or not.
There is also some information out there for the 134 and 172 Industrials. http://www.ntractorclub.com/eds_stuf...%20Engines.pdf. They are similar to the 192 as well. I think I've seen manuals on flea-pay that cover all three engines (134, 172, & 192 cid) Last edited by rotorwrench; 02-10-2015 at 08:49 PM. |

Re: Ford Industrial engine
Try Ford Feista probably not spelled correctly, but were used in Bobcats, we rebuilt
one. Maybe from the 1970's or 1980's. |

Re: Ford Industrial engine
There my be one more OHV banger...I think there was an industrial only 4-cylinder based on the early OHV six.
Once you have the thing identified, parts and tech should be no problem...I think all the Ford industrials are based on car, truck, and tractor sources. |
