G'day Graham,
590e ford where popular in the early in the early 60s used in many tractors-trucks etc,they are fitted with wet liners so therefore suffer from corrosion problems around the bottom liner seal area.Check sump & under tappet cover for tell tale cream sludge and corrosion.Parts are still avaliable from ag machinery part supplyers, manuals turn up on ebay regulary. |

The engine sounds to be a 330 Dagenham manufactured in the 60's. Blocks are no longer available and some spare parts and gaskets "are" available. No manuals available. We do have a parts book we use in the shop.

Thanks Doug and Greg for the information.
Doug is your information Australia based?
Do you have any names of likely Ag machinery parts suppliers in Australia? I gather the wet liners are a replaceable part that I will most likely require. I would love to find out if these are still available. |
