ford engine

[deansotham]

I have recently purchased an 1966 wood classic ketch with a 60 HP Ford Parsons (Forbearance) 4 cilinder marine diesel engine. Any information regarding this engine availability of parts, tips etc would be appreciated

I found them very helpful when I was chasing parts for my old tug's gearbox.

I have recently worked on a boat with a Parsons engine ( Pike?) around fifty odd horsepower. Unit is essentially an industrial / agricultural engine so I went to Sussex Tractors for bits. Very helpful, sensible prices
