Ford Flathead V8 project

Another project to work on. Ford Flathead V8 with welder and fitted on a solid trailer.

What a neat project. I saw this on Marketplace as well, thought it was neat but had no real use for it. I'm glad you picked it up.

Thank you. Love the sound of a old Flathead. Be neat to have it as a stationary exhibit

The military used Ford V8 engines to power generators for search lights, welders, water pumps etc during the second world war, also I think Bren Gun carriers etc. I think that the Ford V8 Pilot car (England, 1948 -1951), had freeze plugs at the rear of each bank and the military version of the engine did not, but cannot be absolutely sure. Try a search engine for more information.

Thank you for your input most appreciated. My neighbor has a bren gun carrier which has the ford flathead as a power plant. Very iconic engine. Thanks fir watching

That might also be a welder

You are correct it is a welder I don't know why I kept saying Generator which it is also I guess. Thanks for watching
