Continental Engines

Gene Davis (Ga.) · Oct 18, 2010

Hello, I am seeking information about the Continental engine company "all fuel" engines,especially the N-62 series that were used in the Earthmaster, Allis Chalmers "G". and The Massey Harris "Pony" series. In researching the Earthmaster, their factory inventory records indicate that they made some, but no body seems to have seen or had one. ran across a couple of strangely marked engine block recently that had the word "special" cast into the block just above the oil pan area. Contacted Monte's Equipment Co. and Gerry Moons said he had not seen or heard of anything like this nor found it mentioned in the record info he had from Continental Just wondering if any ov you people could shed some light on them. I know they would be lower compression ratios and probably have special manifolsds at the least. Would appreciate any info anyone has. Gene Davis

My Continental spec charts show just about all their gas engines available with standard and optional compression ratios. An all-fuel engine would need a ratio at approx. 5 to 1, or less.

It shows the N62 available with only two optional choices.

Standard is 6.4 to 1.
Two options are 4.1 to 1, and 5.4 to 1.

The chart also states that all these changes are done with different cylinder heads - NOT pistons.

I have an all-fuel Y62 Continental sitting in my barn. I have no idea what makes it different from an N62, but it's a power-unit and not in a tractor.

I agree that the difference must be the heads. When I rebuilt my N62 in my MH Pony, there was no mention of different pistons or rings.

They made a lot of engines for Ferguson Z series

Weren't the Y block engines sizes Y69, Y92 and Y112?

I once had a Case VI someone had installed a Y92 engine complete with the International baler hood and grille

Yes, you're correct. That number I gave was a result of my lousy memory. A farmer gave me that engine 30 years ago. Said is was recently rebuilt at that time. I chucked it in my barn and haven't looked at it since. I just checked the numbers on it and they are . . TY69 96404

Jdemaris ---- Could you look at the block casting in that all fuel engine and see if it has the work "special" cast into the block down near the oil pan area? We have got a block with that word cast in it and want to identify it.
