The C-123/C-113 motor that powered bunches of Farmall
tractors (A, Super A, 100, 130, 140, 240, and more) was
produced up through 1979. Looking at Old Oak Farmalls, it
looks like the C-113 was used in the F-series, too. Is that true? The other question is: are H and M motors just larger derivatives
of the C-113 design? Different blocks, cranks, rods, pistons but
in terms of valve train, combustion chamber and other design
aspects do they share the same design traits? In other words,
just scaled-up bigger versions of the C-113 design? You know, the C-113 is a "modern" motor by 1930's standards
what with its overhead valves arrangement. If it was also being
built in the 1920's then I'd say Farmall was making advanced
motors for that era. The other observation is the long
production run for the design (mid-1920's? through 1979).
Except for the small block Chevy V-8 design, there's not many
motor designs continuously manufactured over a 50+ year
period. Setting aside all of the above talk, what I really like
about my 140's motor is the way it sounds when it is pulling
hard, when it is idling and when it is slowly lugging into and out
of the shed. It's music, man, music.
