Most of those old Ford tractors you see aren't diesels. I don't think they made diesels until the mid 50's. From the 40's through 52 it was a flathead four, not much different from a Model A. After that it was a pushrod OHV four. I have one of those, a '54 NAA. And yes, it still runs. I use it these days as a stationary power source for my emergency generator.Whatever diesel motor they put on those old ford tractors from the 40s and 50s that i still see clunking through the fields. Granted you arent talking a street vehicle application but its an internal combustion engine none-the-less. super simple, powerful enough to do the hard work and last forever.
