 Topic: 1952 CA oil pan
Posted: 25 Sep 2023 at 10:36am |
|
I have a 1952 CA that has a cast iron oil pan and rocker arm cover. I don't think this is normal. What engine would I have in this tractor? I have had it overhauled and am having oil leaking from either the rear main seal or the rear pan bolts. Also what is the correct diameter of the crank that touches the seal? Maybe I need a Ready Sleeve?

the cast items were used during the war ( 1942-43) on the model B.. which has the same basic engine.

do you have a cork, or felt seal ?... also the crank is hollow and was to DRIP oil thru it onto the main clutch bearing..There is a cotton WICK like a piece of rope stuffed in the hole... Sometimes that WICK will come out or wear out and leak excessive.

Yea.... that guy in the movie has about a dozen covering his overhaul of a "B" tractor.. Most are pretty good and have good details.. It is his first time overhauling a B so he has a lot of questions and looks up the answers and WHY...... some good info.

The s/n on the CA is 17725 and the engine is CE 49161 G (6?) Is this a "mutt" tractor?

The CA came out in 1950... prior to that there were 150,000 model B and C tractors built with that same engine "CE"...... so if your serial number is 49,000 .....it probably was built in the early-mid 1940s.

Not EXACTLY the same. CA had slightly higher compression ratio and HP.

there were a variety of CE engines, compression ratios, rpm rating, and the fuel they burn...
None of that has anything to do with the serial number... Consider the number of engines built over 20 years and then number of tractors built over that time.. You can kind of figure out the age of any engine.
