Clark Tructractor

I just purchased a "Mini-Dumper" from the scrap yard. I have figured out it is a Clark Tructractor. It has a flat head 4 cylinder and Zenith B-21 carburetor. The engine block has no markings at all. The problem with this restoration is that I know nothing about the engine so I can't buy parts. I have posted photos at http://www.circleoaks.com/mini-dumper.html
I know the "Brain Trust" of Yesterday's Tractor Co. is huge. Does anyone recognize this vehicle?
Thank you for your help.

Well, with the dist thru the head it's probably a little Continental... parts catalogs (under Clark "tructractor" and Truc Tractor) show the Cont F140, F4121 and F4124, and I don't know how to tell them apart.
Cont'ls are noted for having engine #'s in obscure places; hopefully others can suggest where to look.
Some catalogs, not showing any years, show an unidentified LeRoi, but I think that was around the early 30's. Good luck
 
Here's a couple more possibilities:
79 Fel-Pro catalog lists a "C(Clarkat Tructractor)" with a Cont Y4112, and on another line "Clipper, Tructractor Dump Tip 30, 40" with Cont Y112.
Cont'l usage of the time was the "Y4112" was an "automotive" engine, and the "Y112" was the "Industrial" engine, used in Ag and Ind'l uses (but not power units, which were PY112's).
I can't find my notes, but one version has timing gear, other has chain, one revolves CW, one CCW.
John S, are you there???
 
The engine ID tag shows up in your photo, right
by the dipstick. Try to clean it up, or wire
brush it off.
 
I hope you get her going, that's a sweet little machine. The no oil filter thing is pretty common. I have a '53 jeep and the oil filter really only works at about 10%.
 
I zoomed-in on where the tag was & put the photo on the image site. I also added a photo of the tag next to the seat. I'm not sure why anyone would want to remove it.
 
I have never heard of a vehicle engine with no oil filter especially work equipment where companies look after their investments. But, live and learn.

Thanks for your input,

Paul
 
Judging by the tires I'm guessing it was used in-doors. Probably in something like a foundry where molding sand needs to be moved around or possibly some place needing coal moved to furnaces. Your guess is as good as mine?

Thanks,
Paul
 
Paul, I'm sure its an F124 or F142 Continental. The dist thru the head is a dead give away. See if someone around you has a Gas engined grey Lincoln SA200 welder. They used those engines , but most of them, had Magnetos , and there is a freeze plug in the head where the dist went. You will see the info plate right by the dipstick, but they say "Made for Lincoln by Continental Motors , Muskegon Mi."
 
I found a web site that sells the Operators manual and the Service manual for the F124 but they don't mention an F142 so I am guessing it's the F124 I have.

Thanks for pointing me in this direction. I wish I could find markings in the block to confirm the model. Tomorrow I'm going to scour that block one more time. Then order these manuals.
