 Topic: piston and sleeve location???
Posted: 01 Jan 2012 at 10:25pm |
I feel a bit dumb asking this but...Technically, where is #1 piston and sleeve located on a wd? I am guesing it is the sleeve closest to the gas tank, rather than the sleve near the front of the tractor. Ironicly however, the manuals do not even mention where #1 is located. Guess the people who wrote the manuals assume you know where it is and thats my problem! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Number one is to the front of the engine closest to the radiator, four is in the rear by the gas tank.

I believe all engines use this pattern.
Number one will always be forward most. Even on a V-6 or V-8 etc. the forward most piston on the crank will be number one. If you look closely on a "V" type engine the pistons center line is not exactly straight across from each other.

There are actually a few engines, i.e. Deutz, that number one cylinder is at the flywheel end. That said one would be correct most of the time assuming number one is at the front of the engine, but we all know what happens when we assume. ;-p

Then there is the Model G where "front" and "rear" are relative and "nearest the radiator" is...what?

#1 is always the farthest away from the flywheel. That solves the problem with the G. AaronSEIA

There is another exception that I am aware of from my experience back in the 50s.
The cylinder closest to the radiator on the Flathead Ford is on the left but number 1 cylinder is on the right.
I seem to recall that the FE series engines (332-427) were also that way but I'm not positive.
Of course, this has nothing at all to do with the original question. LOL

ford V8's always call #1 cylinder the front passenger(right) side, even if it isn't the farthest forward of the front 2 on the crank.

thats funny because the way my WD plug wires are arranged on the distributor the number 1 cylinder is the rear one closest to the gas tank, always been this way and it runs perfect, hmm......

On an Allis engine, #1 is always the one farthest away from the flywheel. On your WD, the rear cylinder is #4. Having said that, the engine and distributor don't really care which end of the engine you call #1. If you pulled out the distibutor and turned it exactly 180 degrees then swapped #1 and #4 spark plug wires and #2 and #3, you would find that it would still run perfectly. Turn the distributor 90 degrees clockwise and move each wire one space clockwise and all would be well again.

What DanD says is right.
I guess the only reason for having the number one socket on the distributer set to the number one cylinder is to make it easier to use the timing mark for timing the ignition.
