Do you think my Sexton was near Borden Ont., or was that just where the rebuilt engine came from? Jesse.

The push rod tubes were clean inside. The induction tubes all had some rust inside, two being rusted out. The engine was complete and unmolested; suffering mainly from neglect (internal condensation) and the above mentioned problems. Interestingly, I had two Sextons to chose from when I bought this. For the most part identical. The other one ran. Amazingly, they put a 12 foot bar on the drive shaft and broke the engine loose. With the carb off, and spraying starting fluid into the elbow, they got it to fire. After the carb was re-installed, they drove it all over the farm with no air cleaner before selling it. He wanted more money for it since it was "restored". It is in a museum in southern Indiana now. This a picture of it in it's restored condition. This is how they ran the engine. Jesse.

Hello Jesse.
Does the Serial Number of the engine match any vehicle records for your Sexton? If it's the original factory installed engine, there is a good chance the actual vehicle may have been at Borden when the engine was overhauled. If the numbers do not match, the odds increase that whenever the original engine in the Sexton needed servicing, it was simply shipped off to the nearest RCEME unit capable of doing the work and a "new" rebuilt engine was ordered out of stores through the system for installation.

David; I don't have any vehicle records. There are many stamped numbers on various parts of the engine, but none match the vehicle serial number. Jesse.

Hello again Jesse.
I'm not that familiar with the Sexton, other than riding in Bill Gregg's many years back and enjoying the scent of avgas in the air, but if the original data plate(s) survived on your vehicle, it might have identified the original engine number for you. There is also the possibility that if the vehicle itself went in for a major model upgrade, a new data plate would have been added, showing that info as well. One can see this quite often on half tracks that left the factory as an M16 for example but were subsequently converted to an M3 vehicle. I checked an old copy of Peter Ford's CMP INFOEX but none of the five Sextons he had been able to locate had Engine Data available and only one owner could provide a vehicle SN. Was hoping there might have been enough information available to help you plug yours into the production scheme of things.
