I need some measurements of the 8N engine block. I need to know:
1. Length (bottom/crankcase)front to rear
2. Width (bottom/crankcase)about midway down the length, flange to flange. This would be the outermost edges.
3. Distance from the left crankcase flange edge to the midline of the crankshaft. Left edge being as the engine sits in the tractor.
4. Distance from the left top side of the block to the center of the piston bore. Pick a point about midway down the length to avoid mounting bosses/serial number pad.

I'm not looking for numbers to 3 decimal places - the closest 1/16" is fine.

Also, if anyone has the complete tractor disassembled and can provide measurements of other important parts, let me know. It is very difficult to measure my tractor accurately because it is not torn down (except for the hood and radiator).

Thanks for the help!

Doug

Doug, Following are as you asked.
21 3/4" length of block. 15 3/4 width overall at clutch housing--9 1/2 at bottom of crankcase width @ center main.
4 3/4" left casting to center of crank saddle at center main.
2 1/2" left top of block to center of bore.
Hope this helps.

I have been doing some measurements, mostly of the bodywork- I'm building a scale model for my twoyearold from handicap scooter parts, what do you need? Ger

Good!
I'm developing 1/12-scale patterns and drawings to build 8N's in resin (true scale models) and in hardwood (collector items)
I built a pilot model of both the 8N and also of the Jubilee, but inaccuracy in the basic component measurements made it real difficult towards the end to get the dash and other pieces to fit correctly.
I pulled the hood/cowls/grill/radiator off my 8N and I found just how far off I am! So, I'm looking for any and all measurements, especially the hood (mine is pushed in)the grill, and basically the rest of the tractor.
There are pictures of both pilots on the Yahoo FordNSeries site.
I want to build scale models with the same level of detail that model railroaders and auto modelers have enjoyed for years.
I appreciate your help!
