A good friend of mine, whom I can't persuade to buy an LBC, decided he
wanted a vintage tractor to putter about with. He bought a 50-something
Ferguson tractor as a resto project. (!?) The motor was seized, he needed
pistons, rings and some ignition parts, among assorted other bits. He
searched high and low, checking out all the farm equipment and auto shops
till an old timer pointed him in the right direction. Where did he get them?
Moss motors! Ordered them out of the Triumph (TR4) catalouge. Really!.
