USHM3/president tractor engine

Post by TvdWerf »

One of my contacts is working on a Restoration from a president tractor, and has 3 engines with it.
He is making 1 running engine, but the other 2 could be interesting to repair the USHM3 engines.
It are blocks with water pump option, in a few months I can buy them for spares.
crankshaft and head is complete.
What should be a reasonable price for one engine in parts?

Ok, one car, and 3 spare engines, not the logic idea, but spares for this engine are not easy to buy on the street these days....

It is probably the same as the ex WD generator engine so I might have a spare cylinder head. Any chance of some photos?

In a few weeks I am there again, I try to make pictures at that moment.

It is a low compression engine, the cylinder head is different as the standard for us.
The basic block looks the same, but I did not had both engines on the same table ;)
