Wanted - flywheel housing for Diamond T
7 years 8 months ago - 7 years 8 months ago #174271

We are restoring a Diamond T and need a flywheel housing from a Diamond T XL406 or International RD406 engine with the starter motor mounted on the left.
Any leads appreciated. Contact Ian on 0419 435 475.
PS. It is a 1958 model 630, equivalent to an International R190 The other trucks that used the Red Diamond engine in Australia I believe was the R 195 International, however their flywheel/bell housing didn’t have the machined square engine mount
attachment pads on the flywheel/bell housing. These are needed for the Diamond T version.
So the flywheel/bell housing we are trying to locate is exactly the same as in the pictures except the starter motor attachment is on the left hand side of the casting rather than on the right hand side.

We have successfully created the correct style by cutting two different housings and welding them together. The weld has high integrity, and is not load bearing anyway. It is indiscernible, so we have overcome the problem satisfactorily.
