41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
I have only seen two and its been many years ago and would like to see pictures of the motor since I am thinking about building a model of one,since they were in pickups was it also available in a panel truck and how about a sedan delivery.

They were used in Ford Ferguson tractors.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
Thanks for the pictures and I think I can modify a model A motor to look like one.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
In the very early '60's I had a neighbor that had a very nice '41 pickup that had a six cylinder flat head engine. I have only seen one '41 with a six, never have seen and/or encountered a four banger in a pickup. I do know where a '40 tonner V8 60 is in Idaho.
It is a former Railway Express truck.. I think that I have read somewhere that the 4 cylinder pickups were sold mostly to very large manufacturing plants for use in or near the plant.. They for damn sure would not be very practical on the street/highway.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
The 9N engine is only a 134 so its smaller then the 200 CID Model A/B type engine. They worked good for a small tractor with low gearing but not so good in the trucks when you wanted a bit more speed than the tractor.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
My first encounter with one was in a junkyard over 40 years ago and thought a farmer must have installed it and a few years ago one came to a local show,I think the one in the junkyard is still there.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
I have seen a 1940 panel with the 4 cylinder and it was originally used for a milk truck in Indiana.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
The 4 cyl 134 engine was also used in the 9N ford tractor and also in the pre WWI ford GP jeeps I have also seen them used in stationary powerplants. I had a 1941 GP jeep with this engine and it was actually more peppy than the later MB and GPW jeeps that had 50% more horsepower. 9N tractors are plentiful in my area with many priced at less that $1K. The tractor engines don't have a fuel pump but you can run it in a truck using an electric pump.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
I know where a power plant is that is powered by a truck engine, has the lobe for the fuel pump. if you are interested I will ask about it.

"The Ford 9N engine was a side-valve, four-cylinder engine, with a 3.19-inch (81 mm) bore, 3.75-inch (95 mm) stroke, providing a displacement of 120 cubic inches (2,000 cm3)." In fact, it's common knowledge to most folks that play with numbers that these bore and stroke dimensions are the same as one bank of any 239 cu.in. V8.....our old friend the 24-stud flathead. DD |

Only commenting on your quoted source, coopman, not your always valid input. I think people not familiar with fractions can tend to round them which causes problems when trying to calculate clearances and volumes etc. I saw a post where a guy was asking when ford changed the kingpin diameter from .8125 to .813. They didn't change the diameter someone just rounded the number in a catalogue. (That's how we spell catalog by the way). Mart. |

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
Yep, I got it crossed with the NAA & 600 series Fords. The 9N, 2N, & 8N are all 119.7 CID. They were damn sure a lot smaller CID than the Model A.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
Is that the engine I read about that was referred to as the "half-merc"? Think it was a Peterson Publishing all Ford book. Haven't seen it for 40 years but was interesting at the time.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
It would have been half a 239 but in cubic inch displacement only. There are a few internal parts that can be interchanged but not a lot. Small end bushings on the con rods and tappet followers come to mind. The local parts store where I grew up in KS always kept Johnson adjustable tappets in stock. I asked if it was for the old flathead trucks and the answer was that it was for the old Ford tractors.

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
I came across one out in the woods in a trash pile. it was definitely odd. was a panel at one time only the rotted cowl and hood top left. engine and trans were in it. I pulled the transmission off the back because it was the same as v8. they had an adapter to go from the tractor motor to the v8 pattern and a cutout in the transmission for the starter. also in that trash pile was a few model A frames and an indian four gas tank from the late 20's early 30's...

Re: 41 trucks with 4 cylinder motors
V8coopman, I stand corrected. TM 10-1101 for the Ford GP gives the displacement at 119.5 c.i. The 134 was used in the standardized GPW/MB Willys engine. My bad.
