I met George Bush this morning.

[GTP1960]

George Alvin Bush, that is, from Leesville, SC .
his friends call him Gaby.....he sic'd his dog on me.
but after a tense moment I diplomatically offered up my sausage biscuit and we were instant good buddies.

1941 JD two cylinder "garden" tractor

George thought I was a "methhead" out to steal gas out of his tractors.
(& I was there to look at his stable of vintage tractors too, but I shouldn't have been walking around his field without letting him know.)
Once he realized his mistake, we were friends too (though it did cost me my other biscuit).

He has two 1950's Ferguson tractors that I wanted to see.
was wondering if they had Standard Triumph engines, as I have read they used the 2L TR2/3 engines in Ferg's .
but, they sported continental engines from Muskhorn Michigan.

perhaps the ferguson tractors in GB were different from ours?

BTW: George is 91 and "still tears em down & builds em back"

Guy - the photos are showing as "missing".

Maybe they're on a non-public website?

Thx Tom
Some reason. I'm getting an upload error message from BCF.

If you are linking to pictures on a web site, they probably have their web site set to not allow hot-linking of pictures. (often done to save band width)

If you are uploading pictures, what is the file type and size?

First time I just "moved" the pics over to my post from google photo files on my w10 desktop.
(About 5mg.)
Then I tried attaching like I usually do.

can you see any of them?(4 in the text & 3 attached)
because I can see them.

I've discovered that Google Photos isn't "non-Google" friendly. Some machinations you have to go through to share them. Usually, only the "owner" of the Google photos can see them.

I'd suggest just attaching the photos as you did with the last three. Those three attached show up in your post.

Weird, I saw the photos when I first checked the post earlier, now they are gone.

You CAN NOT drag an drip pictures into post from a remote site. You must use the "Insert Image" icon in the editor tools to either 1) Point to a remote URL that points to and actual IMAGE. It would look something like: [IMAGE]https://www.somewebsite.com/pictures/picture.jpg[/IMAGE] (The image tool puts the image tags around the URL)

OR

2). Upload the image from your computer.

Looks like a JD model "L".

And yes, some of the Ferguson tractors used different engines in the export models - Continental engines for export & Triumph (Standard) for domestic.
