That is an 8.9 liter engine?

What are the three pressure systems?

The late 30's narrow front experimental Ford/Fordson tractors that Charlie Sorensen claimed would work better than the 9N had a gas V8. For the same displacement, an inline 6 will usually have more low end torque.

[ Cecil Bearden] Farmer: Be very careful about that 1155 V-8 diesel.   They are a money pit...     Those Masseys have a hydraulic system that has three separate pressure systems.   the O-rings can go bad and give you a real headache.   Make sure the multi power works and try the PTO on the mower to be sure the pto clutch is holding.    That V-8 diesel has to operate at a lot higher rpm than a 6 cyl and it uses a LOT of fuel....  We owned one for several years.
