I need some assistance in identifying the engine in the old, possibly WWII era, Towmotor forklift shown below. The previous owner thought the engine was a Continental and, although I think that it is as well, I keep coming up empty when trying to identify the model. The only engine identification I can find is a cast into the top right corner of the head and is F400A-229. The forklift itself has no identification tags/numbers that I can find. The engine has a tiny distributor mounted on the left side of the engine that is driven by a massive device such as I have not previously seen. That device appears to be driven by the double fan belts.
Overall, this article will be a Hyster and Yale forklift serial number guide. Yale forklift serial number guide. Before 1995 Yale Materials Handling Corporation did not indicate truck year within the serial number. Post 1995 Yale began a lettering system that identifies the year of the truck. Jul 23, 2011 This truck has several features in common with 1950s Towmotor and Clark lifts. You need to find an old lift truck mechanic or shop foreman to identify it. If it is a Towmotor, the serial number is stamped on the frame somewhere.
The crank case oil filler is located on the top left side of the crankcase immediately below the head and between the alternator (apparently not original) and the oil filter. Intake and exhaust manifolds are on the right side of the engine. The exhaust pipe comes off the manifold at the front right but comes off the bottom of the manifold (possibly a forklift variant) rather than the top of the manifold as I have seen on some other Continentals including my Y112. Here are a few more pics of the engine itself.
Pictures not great because, being a forklift, things are quite difficult to see. I have two Continental N62s, both in M-H Ponys, and a Y112 Red Seal.
The engine in question is physically about on par, maybe slightly larger, with the Y112. I have a Hercules XBA in a U.S. Military PU-286 5KW genset - no hints to suggest that the engine in question is also a Hercules. According to, there may actually have been a Continental F400, but if that is 400 CI, that isn't it. More importantly, that post identifies Continental F400 series engines as having part numbers of the same format as the casting number (F400A-229) I found on the head. It may be relevant that the casting number on the head of one of my N62s is N62A-500 which is in similar format.
I also found a fleeting reference to a Continental F229 on the Internet. If such creatures as F400 or F229 did exist, would anyone have pictures for comparison?
That tiny distributor on mine (cap is 2', or less, in diameter) has to be a distinguishing feature assuming that it is original. That apparently fan belt driven ignition timing system is really throwing me for a loop. ---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM. That is, without a doubt, a Continental cylinder head in the third photo. Looks like one that would be on an F-140 or F-162 engine. The starter mount also says Continental. Chemcad download university of cincinnati. Wow, good eyes!
You picked out of a picture what I could not see in the flesh. I had guessed, before looking closely, that it might be an F162 or F163. Now that I look closely, I cannot seem to match it to any pictures of Continentals I have found. I think I am now convinced that it is, indeed, a Continental engine.
Does that fan belt driven distributor drive tell us anything? ---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ---------- Some Corrections. That gizmo that I thought was a fan belt driven distributor drive actually drives both the distributor AND the fan belts. I think the 'gizmo' may actually the original magneto drive and is either gear or chain driven off the engine. The usual crank shaft pulley for driving the fan belts is not available as there is a large hydraulic pump attached to the front end of the crankshaft. So, we have what may originally have been a magneto drive, converted to distributor, located on the left side of this engine.
I should also mention that the distributor is so small that the condenser is mounted externally. Had a look in the location you noted.
There is a raised section of the casting with a machined surface about 1/2' high, 3' long and raised about 1/4'. It looks like it should have something stamped on it but there is nothing - even tried the paper and lead pencil method. ---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ---------- Thanks, John! So it may actually turn out to be what I had guessed it was in the first place? Maybe I can narrow things down a bit if I can find some HP ratings for the three models you mentioned.
