Lever - control brake question?
 

How can the parts be distinguished when there is no catalog number marked?
CTL 4054B / CTL 4055B / CTL 4056B / CTL 4057B

Thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2019

These numbers relate to the four different bell cranks found in a carrier.
4054 is left front
4055 is right hand front
4056 left hand rear (under tool box)
4057 is right hand rear.
The rear ones have the short arms. The front ones have the longer arms.
I hope that helps.

Fuel tank Measurements
 

Hi Michael R. I have seen your answers to Tom Millward regarding length of fuel pipes, I would like to ask do you have Details/Measurements of fuel tanks and mount parts? as you can see we work hard and persist in reconstruction of our BC.
Thanks in advanced.
Happy new year 2019.
Israel

Hi Israel,

I am currently borrowing a fuel tank from another member of this forum. I will take some measurements and draw you up couple of diagrams. Let me know your email address and I will send something over to you, with some photographs.

John W on this forum makes the fuel filler necks and caps. I have just managed to make a reasonable facsimile of the fuel vents by hand working a 30mm brass round bar.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Israel,
Only now I saw that picture you sent. I waited for the information on p.m.
I thank you and wish you a successful new year in your project. All the best
Zbyszko

Hi Israel,

I have attached a drawing of the Right Hand fuel tank from a Mk1* Carrier which another member has kindly lent me. If you require any other dimensions let me know.

Now fit the cooler pipes, while there is easy access.

Good tip
 

Thanks Lynn very good tip.
will do it, :cheers:

Gauge - oil pressure - engine unit
 

Can anyone help with parts, where i can buy them?
A. 9278B Engine unit - oil pressure gauge.
B. 26491/123 Speedometer cable comp1ete.

The second question is the BC will work on 12V instead of 6V I have the original gauges to work on 6V How can I lower the voltage to 6V and the reading will be accurate.

Regards
Israel

Hi Isreal, Macs autos sell resistors to suit the ford commercial guages.
I cant recall exactly what you have there. Mechanical gauges obviously don't require them.
Electric gauges for temperature, oil pressure, volt meter and fuel level do require them, however an ammeter does not.
There are two types of oil pressure senders. The one you use depends on your engine and which oil pump you are using. The earlier one is for the old long pump and is harder to find as a new item. The later higher pressure one goes with the short oil pump. It is readily available. I cannot remember all the details about matching the original gauge to the higher pressure sender unit. Some research on your part will be required.

Hull, serial and censeus number
 

Yesterday I could have a look at this UC.
Here are the findings, plus a question to the knowledgeable ones:

Lower tub, Dominion bridge serial: 22543c
Ford of Canada serial: 23523
Ford production date: 14 Jan 1944

So far, matching numbers. However -
WD census is CT162220.

Per MLU's lists, CT1622** were produced in late 1942. The question remains as to how it was allocated to a vehicle produced some 15 months later.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Could you please clarify what carrier you are looking at? As you are presently posting on a thread about what is clearly a different carrier, perhaps it would be more appropriate to start a different thread and provide some images with your narrative.

So far your observations about the apparent gap in the numbers does make it appear there is an obvious mistake. I am thinking the WD number may belong to a November, 1942 production UC-2 mortar carrier built on a factory MK-I* hull.

Parts of the work using a milling machine
 

As part of the restoration work, Milling parts. Number of attached pictures of parts in the work using a milling machine
CTL 3298 - Fork end

Parts need CTL5049
 

Hi
The restoration work continued I finished preparing all the steering rods.
I am looking for two CTL5049 units including left and right screw nuts.
Are there any such units unnecessary?
Thanks
Israel

Contact John W here on the forum, look in the "Parts" section . . .

Good to see your progress.
I can only imagine how difficult it is to make those rods when you do not have original samples on hand to copy.

Happy Hanukkah to family Berko and crew at the tractor organization.

Radiator upper mount help need
 

Hi
I am looking for the radiator top mounting / top latch of the radiator I would love to get a scheme that describes the installation.
Thanks, Israel

I notice you are using straight hoses on the lower rad to water pumps. Although you are using silicone hose, which will bend reasonably easy, you might want to consider using the preformed rubber hoses from a 52 Ford. It reduces the stress on the lower rad outlets.

Check this link where we discuss the lower rad hoses: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=24900

I believe this picture will help you out as there is a bracket that bolts to the tab off the rad and then bolts to the upper engine armor.

Hello gents,

Be aware that if you have to change your water pumps to the new version with better sealing, the preformed lower hoses will be too short as the new pumps have shorter outlets. (see my post in the restoration forum).

Hi Israel, here is the pic which could help you as well.
