Need Waukesha manifold

[gpogpo]

I've been looking for a useable Waukesha FL6D manifold. This engine is in an F-12 but had many different applications....including Oliver. Any help appreciated! John

Not all us oliver guys know the engines via the Waukesha name. We need more details on the engine...displacement, gas or diesel, turbo'd, etc.

Did you turn right instead of left? Isn"t that a Farmall F12?; if so, it"d probably get more replies (or at least sympathy) in the Farmall forum.
Some of the early F12"s also had Wauk FJ/FJK"s, but I have no idea if manifold same.
If you post in the equipment sites/forums, you should probably state whether you need straight-up or rear exhaust.
(The FL--6D is the variation #--is one of Wauk"s little 1930s etc 4s of their "F" group, gas; a turbo"d probably melt it!).
FWIW, a 1965 or so Fitzgerald gasket catalog lumps the FC, FC2, FCK, FCL, FCS, FK, FKJ, FL and FS together, and while some gaskets are different, shows only one "manifold set", which MIGHT mean the manifolds MIGHT swap. Good luck.

Thanks guys. That's about all I know about the engine. I asked on the Oliver forum 'cause someone told me some of the little Oliver crawlers used that Waukesha engine. Meantime I found an old Oliver HG manifold in the barn but found it must be from a different Waukesha engine. Engine ports lined up but that's about all.

Only Oliver crawler that used Waukesha I believe was in the oc6 which was an oliver 77 six cylinder.The HG was hercules.

Like Bud mentioned those little Waukesha engines were used by a lot of people. Have you asked on the Case form since the RC also used a version of the FC engine. The only crawler I can think of that used the FC engine was the Cletrac "look alike" that was built by Clark in the 40's for World War 2 so have you tried any of those sites. I know about that there were so many calls for gasket sets for those engines that Victor had to reintroduce the set back in the line about 10-12 years ago. Not bad for an engine that started out almost 80 years ago. Also have you contacted the Waukesha Historical Society. My 2 cents worth. J.

Thanks JS! I'll get after it. John

If you have an existing manifold that appears to be kaput (generally the exhaust part or section) someone who repairs/rebuilds manifolds just posted some pix on one of these sites of a godawful looking manifold (badly cracked, pieces missing) he'd rebuilt beautifully...
I can't recall where it was; I'll try to locate it over the weekend.
He didn't mention any prices or hourly rates, which, of course, is understandable.

My manifold has a 1"x 2" hole in very thin cast on the back side. If I don't find a replacement I plan to attempt a repair with layers of screen and hi temp "metal paste." If you find that guy that makes repairs please let me know. Thanks. John

If at some later date you want me to repair

your manifold , don't put that garbage on it.

It stinks like a skunk when I do the preheat

to repair them.

Below is a link to many (300+) pictures , take

a tour.

Uuhhh...gp, I never found those pix..., but I think we can assume georgemd's post is his way of telling us they were his...

georgemd: I really will looks at your pix, really, every single one ...carefully...and I'll admire every single one as much as I did the first ones..I promise...
