It appears from the info on the rebuild kit the Triumph link on that page takes you, that in 1967 some tractor was fitted with a Triumph engine. Maybe Triumph dabbled in making industrial engines for a short while way back then?
i goitta larf, i didnt even see the triumph link on the page. jus saw it was a 3 cylinder engine so thought id have a larf :lol:
learn summink new every day :D
In fact, the Ferguson tractor in the 1950s was made in Coventry by the Standard motor company. This was later taken over by Triumph (makers of the Stag, TR4, Spitfire etc), but that company had no (well very little) connection with Meriden Triumph who made the Bonneville, Speed Twin etc. As they have no connection with our modern Triumphs except some names.
I thought it was a kit for Coachgeo and his tiger... being diesel and all.
