I should also mention that the distributor is so small that the condenser is mounted externally. So, we have what may originally have been a magneto drive, converted to distributor, located on the left side of this engine. The usual crank shaft pulley for driving the fan belts is not available as there is a large hydraulic pump attached to the front end of the crankshaft. I think the "gizmo" may actually the original magneto drive and is either gear or chain driven off the engine. That gizmo that I thought was a fan belt driven distributor drive actually drives both the distributor AND the fan belts. Post added at 04:41 PM - Previous post was at 03:43 PM. I think I am now convinced that it is, indeed, a Continental engine.ĭoes that fan belt driven distributor drive tell us anything? On a Clark forklift, nameplate can be found near the seat or the dashboard. Some brands, like Komatsu will have their information above front drive tire. Nissan forklifts have their data near the middle of the engine. Now that I look closely, I cannot seem to match it to any pictures of Continentals I have found. You will find model and serial number of Toyota forklift on the front of the frame or somewhere else on the frame. I had guessed, before looking closely, that it might be an F162 or F163. Wow, good eyes! You picked out of a picture what I could not see in the flesh. Post added at 03:43 PM - Previous post was at 03:37 PM. That apparently fan belt driven ignition timing system is really throwing me for a loop. If such creatures as F400 or F229 did exist, would anyone have pictures for comparison? That tiny distributor on mine (cap is 2", or less, in diameter) has to be a distinguishing feature assuming that it is original. I also found a fleeting reference to a Continental F229 on the Internet. It may be relevant that the casting number on the head of one of my N62s is N62A-500 which is in similar format. More importantly, that post identifies Continental F400 series engines as having part numbers of the same format as the casting number (F400A-229) I found on the head. Military PU-286 5KW genset - no hints to suggest that the engine in question is also a Hercules.Īccording to, there may actually have been a Continental F400, but if that is 400 CI, that isn't it. The engine in question is physically about on par, maybe slightly larger, with the Y112. I have two Continental N62s, both in M-H Ponys, and a Y112 Red Seal.
