Update on 60HP engine project

Transmission question from post #16. What's different between passenger and commercial??
I had a commercial some years ago and had to figure out what it was. I guess an easy explanation is it is built heavier duty and accepts normal 85h.p. gears. Tower is a passenger type 6 bolt versus the 60h.p. tower that is attached with 4 bolts. The gears in the one I had were geared very low for a commercial application but you could theoretically swap a '39 type gears and tower to this case. Behind a built 60h.p. engine maybe it would go like a dream. Sold what I had years ago but is an interesting variation as well the fan with the longer snout. Its a beauty as presented. Thanks Lawson for your work!

Hey Lawson - really nice project and a wonderful display of the final result! Thanks for spending the time to get it perfect and for sharing it with the Ford world. Take care!
 
You made a great job of it Lawson and I am pleased you got the stand sorted out and now it will be seen by by several interested people. I would like to get more parts for my four main bearing 1935 model.
 
That four main bearing motor must be rare. My memory is Ford only made something like 6600 of them for Europe before switching to the more common three main motors.
