I think a 253 would have fit better but the 271 is what they had. It appears to work very good! Wonder what would happen if we got a plow on this thing? Future video idea?
@blacksmokejoe5827 Ай бұрын
2-71's were adaptive motors due to removable bell housing 53s do not have that. Very few were used cause of that. That looks like a Funk hood and steering from inline6-v8 kit with steering or a copy of it. Very intresting. FYI make sure you have a hi flow oilbath on the Detroit it will scavenge the oil and run wild!!! make sure your trap door works and the window gally port drain is open..

Them old Ford tractors the engine is the front frame. Front end bolts directly to the engine. The engine doesn’t bolt to the frame because it’s designed to be the frame. The gear box for your transmission and the sump for the PTO and the rear differential are also the frame. Minimal design.

@Recommended_by_Fred 22 күн бұрын
@@justinstearns9723 i think it would be fair to say it probably would cost as much to produce the Detroit engine as the entire tractor. Also, most operators would be pretty hard to grasp at the complexity of the Detroit over the model A ford type engine. Simple and cheap was the watchword for the 8n, less horsepower would mean they wouldn’t break as easily. I see your point!

I wonder if the variety of corn grown back in the day made a difference in how clean the end product was?
@Recommended_by_Fred 7 ай бұрын
It sure did! Corn today has two ears per stalk, earlier variety’s only had one. Older hybrids dried much slower, so the corn had a higher moisture content which made the kernel stay on the cob much better. The corn went in a crib that promotes air flow during the cold drier winter months to dry the corn naturally. Small things that have changed over time.
