Were these used in any Ag or Industrial units? Would like to rebuild one, convert to LP gas w/4spd to use in pickup.
 
Tons of them used as industrial power units. Later units were called CSG-649 (6 cylinder 4.9L displacement).

I have one in a Clark forklift. Lots of ski lifts use them for backup power. A very desirable engine
 
Very common engine used in many things be it car/truck wood chippers etc. etc. Have one in a 1965 Ford 1 ton with dump bed
 
I'm not aware of any of these engines in ag units other than possibly something like a baler or self-propelled swather. Certainly not in any Ford tractors because the block is not structural.

Ford did use the same at-the-time gas engine in the 6000 tractors in the early 1960s, as well as a dieselized version of the series. That engine was supported with frame rails, so it did not need to be structural.
 
Lots of them in industrial power units. If my memory is correct they came out in 66. It replaced the 240. Same engine different bore.
 
Industrial units were built better, had metal instead of plastic cam gears and better quality crankshaft....so I've been told.
 
Just find one out of a F100/F150, my dad has a 300 in a 1980 F150, at 350,000+ miles never have done anything to it other than change the oil.

You have it backwards, they both have the same bore, but the 300 has longer stroke (shorter connecting rod).
 
How to tell the difference between a forged, and a cast crankshaft without even looking at the numbers just look at the parting line (this goes for any engine).

The Ford 6000 used a 223 Cu in gas engine which was modified and enlarged to 242 cu in for the diesel tractors. The 223 was Ford's six cylinder engine before the 240/300 series was introduced. The 240/300 was not used in the tractor.
 
"The guys at Powernation worked on one of those engines not that long ago.

It was mounted on a sprayer unit. "

Thanks for the links. I have a unit that is a sister to what they started with. Rather than a 'sprayer', this (their unit and mine) started life as a fire-fighting piece of equipment. Theirs is retired to hot-rodded glory, mine to pumping irrigation water on the farm.

One difference is mine is a 240, not a 300, but the outfitting/governor, radiator, etc is the same. Waterous Company. Mine was always gasoline.

It does run very sweetly.
