Re: Brought a diamond block home today
My understanding, limited as it is, is that the diamond engines were assembled by Ford for industrial applications after Model A production ended. My question would be if the engine has a balanced crankshaft and a better cam grind than the Model A engines.
In my opinion the combine has value, especially to the folks that like to exhibit antique tractors. I would advertise it in the antique tractor online and print media. It is a little less valuable now that the engine is removed. But maybe someone will want it for parts. The price is right.
