Title: sprocket on water pump
Post by: Thom Kelly on January 24, 2003, 09:54:06 PM
Ron here is a picture of my water pump. The markings on the block says IXB5 is this not the motor for this machine?
Thanks Thom.

Title: IXB-5

Somebody changed engines. Cletrac/Oliver only ever used the IXB-3 engine. The IXB-5 has five timing gears instead of three. That is how they drive the water pump on the IXB-5 Before say 1940, The Silver King tractor used the IXB-5 engine as well as some fork lift trucks.

The Leader tractors also used the IXB-5. That sprocket drove a flexible coupling made from a double roller chain. It drove the hydraulic pump on ours.
