[Tigers] Odd off subject Question... Hit delete now....

[Ron Fraser]

According to Wikipedia Ford owned New Holland from 1986 to 1991; so this is
a bit removed from the Tiger build time.
 
The Ford Industrial Division as it relates to the Tiger; as far as I know it
was just a few people pushing paper in the correct direction not a full
blown budgeted Ford organization.
 
I wonder if these very low compression engines were part of the Stationary
engines that Ford produced?

Interesting about these overseas engines.  Ford, I believe, also owned New
Holland farm tractors.  Since the Tiger was once supposedly from the
industrial division I wondered if the New Holland farm equipment was from
the same division and if some Tiger specific parts would cross with  New
Holland parts.  I called an old time dealer and hoped that I might find a
very old parts dept. employee. No luck and the guy that I spoke to said the
numbers I gave him made no sense at all.  So, that was a dead end.
But in the back of my head I still thought that somewhere out there is a
warehouse with Tiger pulleys that no one ever asks for and no one knows what
they else they might fit. LOL

markets where the gasoline was very low octane.
They have a unique Vin code letter.
