Talking the other day and my brother has a diesel Ford 3000, I've got a diesel MF50. Back in the days when the 3000 series and more particularly the MF 135 tractors were made - both were offered in gas.
I gather the Ford 3000 type tractors gas engine was basically the 3 cylinder diesel configured for gas? The MF 135 type tractors had a 4 cylinder Continental (sp?) and later Perkins 3 cylinder diesel configured for gas?
How did the Ford vs MF gas 3 cylinder engines compare? Design strengths, weaknesses, ease of maintenance/rebuild, reliability?
Just curious.
Thanks,
Bill
