I think I've got that manual, too.

I've got three pieces of 428 irrigation literature:
1) 428 irrigation maintenance and operators manual, Jan 1971 (small sized book, maybe 40 pages).
2) Engine arts list Feb 1970 (list and illustrations, 20 pages or so).
3) Engine parts list update March 1971 (half dozen pages).

I'm still very interested in anything related to the irrigation pump, the power unit (engine with radiator, exhaust, and chassis). My literature only pertains to the engine assy without radiator or exhaust, etc. Also, the engine operating specs (operating speed and power curves)are of interest to me. 361/391 irrigation stuff is also of interest

The pistons appear to be late 428CJ items, based on the description I've heard. They say "428 SUPER" on their sides, which means they are the SCJ-era "reinforced" cast Autothermic pistons. The Rods have CJ/PI bolts, and the crank is marked "A", which sounds like it's got the late CJ balance. I wonder whether the piston crown may have a modified dish, but I suspect not at this time.
It looks as though Ford didn't budget muck money for printing the documentation, as I've noted short-cuts and typos in numerous places.

If you have some FE irrigation info to offer or sell, please feel free to email me. It was great to finally score the three pieces of info I just posted on.
