Ford Engines 134, 172, 192, 220, 240/242

Looking for horsepower output info re the Ford industrial 4 cylinder engines - 134, 172, 192, 220 and 240/242 cid - gas and diesel.

They were used in log skidders in the early to mid 60's and would likely have a higher power rating than for those used in farm tractors.

Anything you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks, Scott

The higher h.p. rating is likely from being rated at the flywheel as a power unit for something like a skidder, while tractors most commonly use PTO h.p.
I think the 134 was rated at 40 h.p. at the flywheel... it was 31-32 at the pto (depending on which carb). The diesel version was actually 144 c.i., and was also 32 h.p. at the pto.
172's were 46 (gas, Nebraska test #701) and 41 (diesel, Nebraska test #705) at the pto. That should put them about 55 and 50 h.p., respectivly, at the flywheel.
I don't have any information on the 192, 240 or 242, unless the 242 (diesel) was a 6-cylinder, like was used in the 6000 tractor. Then it would be 67 h.p. at the pto or roughly 80 at the flywheel. The 240 may be a version of the engine used in the Super Major, but I can't find my book with info on that right now. IIRC, it would be near 50 pto h.p., so maybe 60+ flywheel h.p.
If the 220 was the same as used in the Fordson Major, it was 38 at the pto, so roughly 50 at the flywheel.
