shopnut Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Came across the following parts recently,con rods and pistons, but not able to indentfi what engine they fit, hoping someone on here might help out?, the con rods are marked G147 which I understand is International Halftrack, you can see more information on attached picture. The pistons may or may not have anything to do with the con rods, there was a label under the protective coating which reads: SPFD 2732 PT.NO. E1 ADKN 6102 C QTY 1 The crown measures 3 7/8", 4 rings above gudgeon pin and 1 below, the skirt has 2 splits, a arrow and the word front is marked on piston crown, the letter F is done in the same way as Ford Jeep marked. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon those pistons are from a Fordson Major tractor with petrol / kerosene engine, from the numbers you listed.

The top of a piston is always slightly smaller than bore size, so I think the 3 7/8" would indicate this to be a VO engine piston, and the part number shows this.

shopnut Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Many thanks for all information received, they have not been scrapped but gone to a person who collects and restores Ford Major tractors. Only leaves the con rods., suggestion of e-bay sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
