Modle D Grader engine support

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   ALMOST ready to fire up my 1953 Model D grader.  Axle is repaired, just waiting for new drive chain. D17 engine is installed, need help with the front motor mount. When they put in the D15 diesel they discarded the motor mount, now I need one.  I assume the block (70065842 parts 9 and 10 page 134) serves some purpose in the alignment of the engine, but then the 1949 WD tractor I took the engine out of did not have one. Does anyone have the measurements of the block or know the height above the crossmember the engine should be?.Is the support block cast or machined?  Would a block made from White Oak work?  Thanks for your help, again.

	2" or 2 1/2" angle iron 3/8" thick works just fine.

	That shouldn’t have a spacer. The trans will tip to the rear to let the engine settle on the angle iron cross member
