John manners one out of a combine?

Didn't Matbro use them for a time too? And common in boats and also used on their side in the 0890 Ford Cargos. That would have been a real bundle of power in a lorry!

Hymac used them too sometimes called a Dorset

Agree about the boats, Google Lancing Marine.

Beware, the tooling was sold to India and they made them for a while but quality was lacking.

was that a D series Ford and I am pretty sure we had one in our old NH 1530 combine

Have one from a cargo here too but it would need freeing up from sitting.

Mermaid marine are the guys to talk too. I have one if these engines and they have bee very useful for parts.
