Folks, in my role as a VTR vehicle consultant, I received this question:
"Can you tell me: is it true that the TR4 engine was also used in a farm
tractor - a
Massey-Ferguson as I recall?"
This was the answer I sent back to him:

Is that the gist of what the recent thread concluded? If not, please let me
know so I can set the record straight. Thanks. Cheers.
