@@petersipp5247 these engines are referred to by both 4.9 litre and 300 cubic inch. I just included both. You'll find earlier 80's and the 70's models were called 300's but from the mid 80's onward through the end of the run even Ford themselves seems to call them 4.9's. Yes Ford is an American manufacturer but let's face it. They have been using metric hardware for nearly 40 years now in one application or another. Whether we like it or not, the days of a vehicle being developed, assembled and distributed in the same country are pretty much gone.

@@nathandevine552 several years of daily use and they have yet to back out.

@@junkinjames6345 just a suggestion as I've seen a few engine failures from injested hardware

@@nathandevine552 I will agree with you that it's good extra protection.

@@frankhall1383 just the cheapie module that came in it.

@@jimmoravec1326 no clue. The tractor has been sold for a couple of years now.

@@junkinjames6345 Just curious, I heard if your 12 volt coil is 1.3-1.5 Ohms you don’t need a external resistor

This was the m50d but I have swapped the zf5 into a short bed f150 of the same vintage.

Was the process mostly the same or are there some differences to look out for. I was thinking about the Mazda tranny but I’d rather have a stronger ZF5.

@@gamer-gaming-chair8198 the only issue I ran into with the zf5 was the clearance between it and the forward gas tank on my short bed. The speedometer cable interfered and caused It to flex at an extreme angle. It failed shortly o After. I routed a new cable differently and it held up fine afterwards. Otherwise the same process. Redrill holes for the cross member, connect the clutch. Out the shifter in and figure out driveshafts.

@@junkinjames6345 thanks, I might swap it one day, but till then it’ll do

Depends on your coil. Some are internally resisted. Others are externally. Have to read the coil to find out. But technically the higher voltage will shorten the life of them but I've used them for countless hours this way and haven't had an issue. Same with the starter. Won't last forever on 12 volts but will last many years none the less

Yep, still running the cheap 2 barrel

It's been used for training and unairworthy since the late 1990's. Thanks for the info. I was never trained on turbine engines and was more or less self taught on this process through reading the manuals and help from several people who had done it before

Just a random light I had in a bucket of scrap wiring. Did the job

It's a late 1960's model. I believe 67 but could be wrong. it's been awhile since I looked

Hi, the video shows where to put the coil wires. You'll have one coleing from the battery to the coil and one coming from the coil to your points to open and close the contelact. If you currently have a positive ground system and are swapping to negative ground, simply swap the wires on the positive and negative studs of the coil. Positive being battery power and negative being the points on a 12volt negative earth system.

My to 30 has the same front bumper with ball. But I have never used it in the couple years I have owned the ferguson. What do you use it for? Just backing trailers easy? I have a 3 point receiver mount so I can back to a trailer and just pick it up quick. I guess the front ball would be useful for tieing rope or chains to foe pulling also.

Unfortunately no. However a new group of students has been investing a lot of time and money getting it as close as possible to an airworthy aircraft again.

Unfortunately no. A family member was restoring a similar Willy's. I ended up selling the jeep to them To help finish their project. Willy's parts have become scare locally. I never ended up finding what I needed available to move on. Once the restoration is done I may see about getting just the engine back to see about following through with getting it running

Id say if it's running how it is I wouldnt mess with it. Unless the wiring is a mess and needs repaired or you are having no start issues.

@@junkinjames6345 thanks man. My most recent problem is it will run for a few minutes and then cut off. No spark for a few minutes and then start and run for 2-3 minutes.

@@bryanduke2144 after some online research go ahead and swap those leads around and see what happens. Apparently it will run either way but you'll get less effective spark if hooked up backwards and could damage the coil according to some

@@junkinjames6345 Thank you.

If you go on wd40s website it literally says it penetrates stuck parts. Directly from the website it says ..... Although wd 40 stands for water displacement ......it contains a special blend of lubricant for anti corrosion and penetration. I hate to burst your bubble but if you look up the msds of wd40 it warms its extremely flammable. It also lists it's flash point or ignition temp as 268 degrees. Meaning. Yes it is flammable.

I just watched a video where they reseated a tire bead like you do with a can of starting fluid and a match but they used a can of WD 40. Gotta admit that I was surprised to see it is that flammable...

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words

That depends on your coil. Some are internally resisted. Some are external. If your paint isn't worn off, your coil will tell you if you need it or not. The fact that it's installed means you probably do. But you never know what someone else has done

I hate that I haven't posted in quite a while. New job new house, owning a business, life's been busy but I do have several videos in the works. I just need the time to finish them. The jeep took a turn and the ending is not what anyone would expect.

@@junkinjames6345 Life it self sometimes works the mysterious way´s 🙂 Looking forward to the next posting. Congrat´s on a new job and house 🙂

If your donor column has a good ignition switch you don't need to swap it. I did swap the key switch so my keys would match the truck.

@@junkinjames6345 no, i meant the "ignition switch" that the actuator rod hoes into. Its called a slide swith. It sets on top of steering column...

@@JoseLopez-tb5mk yes that's what I'm referring to. No need to swap it if your donor column has a good one. I left them alone and just swapped the key switch.

Original starter will work fine on 12v. It will spin much faster than stock. Keeping the started engaged for long periods of time may cause damage. Overall lifespan of the starter might be shortened as well. However, if you have a well tuned tractor that starts easily your starter will last years on 12volt.

@@junkinjames6345 okay, what about reversing the polarity of the tractor? If it was positive ground and now you make it negative ground, wont the starter run in reverse?

@@ben91069 it will not. No worries there. Just 12v to cable on starter and ground through starter casing. It'll work as it should
