Hello everyone. I have just worked on a Red Seal engine. It is a continental 4 cy. engine that came from some sort of a paveing machine and is old. I got it running and seems to run great. Is there any demand for these and what would be the value. I would have pictures but i left the camera at home. It has a radiator and fuel tank in the hood sheet metal. Looks like it would be useful for something.I also have a 6 cy. flat head continental engine with a transmission on the back of it. I dont know if it runs yet.Any info would be of help. Thanks in advance. UncleTom

Those Continental Red Seal engines were pretty common OEM engines in their day, used on a lot of construction equipment, and in some tractors, too. The six cylinder Willys flathead engines were of the same size and design, and the Red Seal Continental sixes were used in Checker taxicabs, too, as well as welders, compressors, etc. Hard to say what the avlue and demand for the Continental four is. It is a good engine, Post the model i.e. F-163, etc and maybe someone could use it in a tractor they have.

My understanding here is that the 4 cylinder engines are common. That flathead 6 is another matter. I blew one up in my 50's Linkbelt crane. Nothing replaces that I could find. A lot of machine work to get a Ford 300 mounted and all it drives is a hydraulic pump. The front engine, good shape, has a 3 spd tranny for road travel. Don't need yours, but I sure would have been interested before we got the Ford to fit.

My sheetmetal also says Red Seal. Do you know what the Continental connection is?

No i dont know what the connection was to the continental engine.My brother used to have a 41 willys jeep and someone told me that had a continental engine in it. So the flat head 6 could be out of a crane you say? It sure looks old. I well get pictures of them both. There is also a wisconsin v4 with a,ill call it a in and out or clutch drive. Thanks for responding UncleTom

UncleTom: Those Continental flat 6’s (the F226) are pretty common - were used in all manner of equipment in the late 40’s thru early 60’s. Were OEM installed in air compressors, paving machines, small cranes and shovels, front loaders, on trenching machines, irrigation pumps, in farm tractors (Massey Harris 44-6), pea and bean harvesters, rough terrain forklifts, well drilling equipment, etc. Have also run across them retrofitted in place of other mfr’s engines in older construction and havesting equipment. Have even seen the F226 in obtuse applications like powering ski lifts and a straddle-type boat hoist. Tough, reliable engines!

VaTom – “Red Seal” is merely a brand or trademark Continental used on many of their engines. Look closely and you’ll see the round “seal” contains an image of the capital dome with the words “Powerful as the Nation” underneath.
