Fordson Industrial Engine Serial Numbers
by Jimcdbts » Sun Dec 15, 2013 11:24 pm
At: www.fordsontractorpages.nl

The Fordson tractor engine was available as an industrial engine from the outset of tractor production, however in 1957 with the introduction of the mk2 engine and also the introduction of the Thames Trader a new range of Industrial engines was introduced the 589E, 590E, 591E and 592E 4 and 6 cylinder petrol and diesel engines. These were produced on a dedicated engine line and were introduced in 1957 and made until July 1967 for 6 cyl and April 1970 for 4 cyl . They all have serial numbers beginning with S and some can be found fitted to Fordson majors as replacements. Thames trader engines can also sometimes be found in the tractors, and these also have separate serial numbers with a different prefix 530E for the 4 cylinder diesel. I have copied the serial numbers into tables and will post here. it is an incomplete listing as i am missing the data for early and late Thames trader engines and some early numbers for the industrials. In March 1965 the engine line at Dagenham started to produce the new 2700 range derived from the earlier range. These were produced as both industrial and truck engines for the new D series. The two engine ranges going down the line until July 1967 for 6 cyl and April 1970 for 4 cyl, when the old range was discontinued. In March 1964 the engine castings for all tractor, truck and industrial engines ceased to be sourced from the Dagenham foundry and were instead supplied by Sterling Metals Ltd of Nuneaton. All engine castings for the old range of engines up until April 1970 came from this source. The serial numbers should be useful to those trying to identify and date tractors with these engines fitted instead of the proper tractor engine. Prior to The introduction of the 589-592 range engine the industrial engines had other designations ie 954E 4 cyl Diesel, 955E 4 cyl petrol, 956E Vap oil, 562E 4 cyl Diesel, and 563E 4 cyl petrol all versions of the tractor engine. I don`t have any serial number details of these engines. After April 1970 the old range of 4 cyl 592E engine was manufactured for Ford by Ebro in Spain and was supplied with a proper S industrial ford serial no until 1974 after which it became a purely Ebro engine with no Ford logo or serial no.

Ford Industrial Engine Serial Numbers (FORDSON TYPE)
589E 6 cyl petrol, 590E 6 cyl Diesel, 591E 4 cyl Petrol, 592E 4 cyl Diesel, see the later list for serial nos after 1967 as 592E still available with Industrial S serial number up until 1974.

Re: Fordson Industrial Engine Serial Numbers

I will need to try and edit it a bit as it was in the form of a table but when i posted it the borders didn`t cross over and the list is a wee bit jumbled. up .Have had this info for over 25 years as i used to work for a local engineering company where we used loads of Ford engines from our local power products dealer to install in all types of industrial plant and equipment. During My time it was mostly 2720 and BSD series engines but i do have all the books still and all the design installation books for the engines. Ford Power Products were great as you could build an installation and order up any parts within ford parts division as an OEM customer. We used parts from tractors, D series and cargo trucks , R series buses and even transits, we even used axles from the FW60’s, all ordered through the Ford Power Products division.

Re: Fordson Industrial Engine Serial Numbers
by Jimcdbts » Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:08 am

In 1990 we took delivery of the last 2726T engines we could get as dagenham stopped production of 2700 range diesels for trucks and industry. Over the years we had all different models all now only as diesels. 2701E, 2701C, 2711E, 2712E, 2722, 2706E all 4 cyl, 2703E, 2703C, 2704C, 2704E, 2704ET, 2708E, 2709E, 2713E, 2714E, 2715E, 2723, 2725, 2726T, 2726TG, 2726TM and 2728T all 6 cyl. Most likely all these variations may be found in the Fordson major as a conversion either as 4 or 6 cylinders. and be used in all types of Ford based tractors. A turbocharged version of the 590E was also available.

Ford Serial Number Location

Ford tractor, truck and industrial diesel engine serial numbers shown above are stamped into the cylinder block casting on a machined “PAD” located on the right side of the engine near the front behind the fuel injection pump, just below the seam between the cylinder head and the cylinder block as shown on page 7 of the Lehman Marine Diesel Engine Operators Manual #4C61J below. On the Lehman marinized Ford engines, this “PAD” may be partially hidden behind the coolant piping from the bottom of the coolant reservoir.

The number embossed on the Ford Industrial Power Products ID plate in the “DATE SER No.” box as shown on the bottom left of the above manual page is not the actual Ford serial number. See item “3 – (Not Applicable)” above under the contents of the Identification plate.

A Lehman serial number can be found stamped into the coolant reservoir and into the exhaust manifold. These are not the Ford serial number for this engine.

FROM Donald: "This is an awesome website. I found the information that I needed right away from one of the over 20,000 free articles that you provide as a public service. I'm surprised that so much if this site is free. But I still signed up so I could access the thousands of expanded pages, interesting articles, and dozens of valuable programs! The member's library of books, magazines and videos that I can view online is really terrific! I understand that you and your staff are all unpaid volunteers. Please keep up the good work. And I commend you for your plans to add another 10,000 free informative articles over the next year. I'm thrilled to support you in this endeavor with my small membership donation. Thanks again for all your hard work."

FROM Huey: "I agree with my Uncle, I too have found the articles to be very enlightening. They say that it will take about 100,000 articles to cover the full scope that they have envisioned for the website. They have over 20,000 articles so far and that's doing pretty well, but it could take several years to get the rest. I also noticed that many of the Main Topic Pages and some of the article pages are still in the rough draft stage. I guess that they will fill in as they can get volunteers to work on them. But what I can't figure out is why anyone would spend the time writing informative in depth articles just to give away free to this website for publication? What's in it for them?"

FROM Dewey: "Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors. Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day. They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially."

FROM Louie: "I agree with everyone above. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website. It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over 300 popular and obscure books and over 200 magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous. The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. And a whole years membership is only $25. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle."

FROM Scrooge: "You rave about this website like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat. And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug."

FROM Daisy: "I'm just so glad that Donald got the boat so we and the boys could enjoy boating — together. And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine."

FROM Scrooge: "After seeing how much fun you all have on the water together, I regret that I didn't have that much fun when I was young. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership."

FROM Editor: "For those of you that have stayed with us this far, many thanks. You inspire us to keep working on this labor of love. We know that we have a lot more to do. Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article. Submit any comments via email To⇒Comments@EverthingAboutBoats.org. Be sure to include this page's title in the subject line. Also, your corrections, updates, additions and suggestions are welcomed.

From Adrian: “Can anyone help me to identify the year and model number of my engine please? The only numbers on my 2700 series 6 cylinder ford engine are 825F7EBA and 27/K/83/A. The sump is angled at about 45 degrees, although it was installed upright in my boat so the sump sticks out sideways!”

From Jacques: “Ford 2701E 4 cylinder diesel Industrial engine # S704688. Where can I buy a complete rebuild kit for the above engine? Please advise. Thank you.”

From Gordon: “I have a marine Ford Lehman 6 cylinder engine. I don’t think it was the original 120Hp version that came with the boat when first made (1973) but was probably updated when the boat went through a complete make-over in 1984. I was told that the engine was a 135Hp engine but can only find the following numbers cast onto the block: 357406 4. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks, Gordon”
