The SC engine was never used in a tractor, but the engine used in the Triumph
Roadster and Standard Vanguard was also used in Massey Ferguson tractors,
although very down-tuned. This is the same engine used also in all four-cylinder
TRs (TR2-4A).
I have read that this engine design was "copied" from Citroens wet-liner design
used on their Traction Avant. My father owns a Traction Avant and this engine is
known to be very reliable, as is the Triumph engine.
