LEROI POWER UNITS

Nathan, the early WC's (to the best of my knowledge) had 4cylinder flat head Wakeshua engines in them. If they did use LeRoi engines then I am mistaken. I know that the early B used a flat head Wakeshua engine also. I am certain though that the 6-12 used a flat head LeRoi engine in it. I know where there are a couple of spares that have been purchased incase parts are needed for a 6-12. I don't know what your intentions are with wanting to purchase these engines, but if they were used in the early WC's you still would need to have the correct bell housing. The early WC's and B's had cast bell housings and torgue tubes that were particular to the engine they used. At that time there were no adapter plates to help in installing different engines. I hope this helps, and P.S. - I am posting this under ted's name as he is laying on the couch sick! LOL

Matt, the Leroi company bought block castings from AC as far as I understand and will bolt into a WC or WD.

if you find any of the 226 lerio power units I will buy them if priced decent.

we are rebuilding a 226 power unit, have a 226 in a 38 wc that we use for my dad at shows and it is a horse. might try to find another unstyled wc and put it in that tractor. if we do there will be a very nice brass leroi radiator and clutch stand for sale

i have one i'm trying to get running again. There is very little difference between the leroi, and the wc/wd motor. I'd really like to find a couple rods and pistons to put mine back together. Do you know anything about their condition?

I think you got some bad info. The bearings, crank, and head are identical to the wd, wc, and the pistons and rods have the exact same meaningful dimensions. I have one of each laying in pieces in my garage if you dont believe me.

if you say so pankey, i'll believe you. You seem to know your stuff. You don't happen to know anyone with some of those leroi 7.5 rods do you?

Its "leroi" guys. Back to the original question of the post. What you pay is entirely subject to the condition, and if it is what you say it is, that being basically a d201, leroi's version of the allis 201, Its value is basically the same as what you'd buy the allis motor for. My suggestion would be if its stuck, offer $200, and known good running condition $600. Then somewhere in between for anything else. Remember i'm baseing this on what you've said about the engines. If they are in fact the engine like mlpankey described, i'm sure they'd be worth more, but otherwise like i said, worth no more than the allis version

did you ever sell the brass leroi radiator?
