Worthington Tractor

[Burkie]

I have a Worthington model G5 tractor that I'm not sure of the year or the motor that's in it. The # on the block is EAE 6015H and the head # is EAE 6090F. The reason I'm here is because someone told me it's a Ford motor and someone else said it's Continental motor. Do you guys have any ideas?
Thanks

Does it look like a Ford or Conti?
Worthington made many tractors over the years using what was available at the time. Early models used Ford Model B/C drivetrain parts. Later models used Conti engines with Dodge trans and rear axle.

Tim Daley posted some photos on the N-Forums. Great time line photo of the evolution. Look in the history forum.

Post some photos of your unit.

Those sound like Ford casting numbers.

Burkie........those are FORD flathead casting numbers. Unless you are rebuilding the engine, all you need to know for tune-up specs; count the nipples on the dizzy. 4-nipples is weird frontmount dizzy and you haffta remove the dizzy to replace the points. (0.015") Ittza 2-bolt, 15-min job to remove the frontmount dizzy and replace the points (0.015") on the kitchen table. Just un-snapple yer capple and letter dangle. Installation is a reversal of the removal ...except... finger start the 2-bolts, and install the rotor. Rotate the rotor until the OFF-SET drive tang fits the camshaft OFF-SET drive slot. Now tighten the 2-bolts and re-snapple yer capple. Simple, eh?

The 2-bolt OFF-SET timing scheme is always in time.

The more common looking 5-nipple sidemount points (0.025") Do NOT remove yer dizzy 'cuz you will haffta re-time it. NOT funn.

Remember to "polish" the INVISIBLE CORROSION from between the points after installation. Me? I use a clean $1-bill clamped between the points and PULL. Iff'n yer really cheap, tear a strip from HEAVY brown paper grocery sack and use that.

The Continental Motor is OHV (over head valve) while the Ford flathead valves are in the engine block.

DON'T MUCKA'ROUND with them handy-dandy carb tweek-ums. Iff'n you do, ASK and we'll give you eazy carb instructions. Manual ain't worth chitt on Marvel/Schebler carb.

Recommend you squander $25 (cheap) for the I&T FO-4 manual 'cuz it specializes in the Ford Flat Head engine. .........HTH, Dell

I've also seen Worthington tractors that looked suspiciously like orange Massey Fergusons.

I only want to know for sure what motor this is in case I need tune up parts. It had a couple stuck valves but I got them loosened up so hopefully in the next week I can get this running. It's been 20 years!!
