Nice County (zorry, bad joke)

We have some snow here in Finland.

Yes i had the same problem when i used clogs. My wooden skis seems to have copy the feature from the clogs.
I use Crocks nowadays but they are not good in deep snow either.

Merry Christmas to all of you.

I am happy that he is alive. The accident looks very bad. This is a thing to remember when we drive our old ones. Think about the safety before it´s too late.

We got 25cm snow today and more is on the way.

Did you put all the bearingcaps on the same places as they where before, and the same way also?

The oil can´t get sticky. If it was ok before, but now it´s stuck then perhaps you did put too long bolts for the flywheel. If the bolts goes all the way through the crankshaft flange the bolts can collide with the oilpan and block. DO NOT use the starter!!! If it does not turn by hand you got somet...

If you have the meter cable to the back of a Minimec pump then it´s anticlockvise and if you have the cable to a little gear nearly in the front end of the engine then it´s clockvise

It only fits one way. The two dowel pins are of different size. Some flywheels don´t have the degree scale. Instead there is only a single mark.

Does "firing stroke" means that the cylinder is on its lowest position?

It means that the piston is at highest position and both it´s valves are closed. It is the firingstroke when the piston goes down from this position.

I don´t have the next pages. Here is an older one if it helps. http://www.fordson.se/1A_Motorkapitlet_Diesel_motor_Verkstadsmanual.pdf Here is for the nozzles. 1,86-2,07 Kpm and make sure you have new copper gaskets and the oldones removed from the holes first. Rockershaft 2,35-3,04 Kpm. Tight them ...

We have sometimes big ones over here in Finland. This pumpkin is 815 lb or 370 Kg.

The oilpump has a pressure valve that keeps the pressure at nearly a constant pressure. When the engine is in good condition the bearings let a small but nessesary amount of oil thrugh them to keep them cool. If the bearings are to tight the amount of oil is to small to chill the bearing and in the ...

Hi guys, I am collecting parts in preparation for the conversion from 4 to 6 cylinder. I have two questions at this moment. I hope you can help me. 1. Is there a gasket between the engine and the gearbox? If so, do I need a paper gasket, or will fluid gasket do fine? 2. What should the oil pressure...

Me and my brother had a collection of Märklin trains and railroads that was buildt up on a big table that hang from the sealing and was lifted up and away when not in use. It had remote controlled junktions and sidings, railroadcrossings, bridges and a tunnel. We had five locomotives, one was a stea...

I can se something different in the second cylinders head section. It is a curved line that goes through the whole area above the valves. Is it a scratch or a crack? You got some coolingwater in the oil aswell when you lifted the head off.

You can use it without any tecnical problems in a Major. I used it for years in my Ford 590E boat engine. Nowdays I have to use Diesel, thanks to EU.

Yes, thats a good idea. I had som difficulties to figure out where to put it in the first place.

It's a beayty Grani, :thumbs: I haven't seen the cab before. It look nice. Was is on the tractor when it was new? I found a picture of a cab with a label on it and then i send an e-mail to the firm, and here is a google and me translation of the ansver. Thank you for your inquiry. Jorgen Kaas in pa...

It is 10/56 so they register perhaps all to 1/1/56 no matter when on that year

Hi Grani, you take a lot of pictures like our friend Henk. I like that. I like to look at the country side as well as the people, and think how out of place I would be if I were there. Can you tell me more about the car that ran on "wood," does it heat water for steam? I had a Ford V8 Flat head in ...

It is in the end of april 1959. The engine number is the same as the serial number.

Read this carefully because it has all the information you need. It is for the four cylinder engine but it goes for the six to, except for the serialnumbers. :thumbs: Keep all parts in the specific order so you can be shore to get them back in the same place as before. http://www.fordson.se/1A_Motor...
