They were used in log skidders in the early to mid 60's and would likely have a higher power rating than for those used in farm tractors. Anything you can provide would be appreciated.

I think the 134 was rated at 40 h.p. at the flywheel... it was 31-32 at the pto (depending on which carb). The diesel version was actually 144 c.i., and was also 32 h.p. at the pto. 172's were 46 (gas, Nebraska test #701) and 41 (diesel, Nebraska test #705) at the pto. That should put them about 55 and 50 h.p., respectivly, at the flywheel. I don't have any information on the 192, 240 or 242, unless the 242 (diesel) was a 6-cylinder, like was used in the 6000 tractor. Then it would be 67 h.p. at the pto or roughly 80 at the flywheel. The 240 may be a version of the engine used in the Super Major, but I can't find my book with info on that right now. IIRC, it would be near 50 pto h.p., so maybe 60+ flywheel h.p. If the 220 was the same as used in the Fordson Major, it was 38 at the pto, so roughly 50 at the flywheel. [Reply]  [No Email]
