[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 444850, member: 1726"] The article I read from a news release from Escort (who makes most of the junk tractors today) said they purchased the patents for a couple of engines (175,192, and 201 cubic inch) from Ford when Ford got out of the tractor business. This leads me to believe they didn't buy all the Ford tractor/parts patents. The smaller ones use the Daedong and Mitsubishi engines. They are also using Carraro from the clutch back. A friend had a dealer sell him one saying it had a Ford engine. Upon getting it home he found the Mitsubishi emblem and manufacture plate on the engine. He loaded it up and took it back. I personally would never own any of the aforementioned tractors including the Kubota and any that I am unable to pronounce. :lol: Oh, and just for grins. Some folks are claiming you can buy new Ford replacement motors from FarmTrac for the old Fords. I am going to inquire and see if they have a 152 cubic inch for my 3400 Ford. Should be interesting.
