It's not true that NAA, N-series, and hundred series tractors were built in England by Ford. They were built right here in Dearborn. I own several of these, and there are pictures on the net of the tractors coming off the line in Dearborn. Ford did build his very early tractors in England, and again later, but the one in question here, the 134/172 cubic inch four cylinder overhead valve engine, was always US built. It's true that it shares design features and perhaps even some parts with the M151 engine. The two were designed side by side. If you place them alongside each other, the family traits are obvious. Just a bit of history, guys!

Those Ford tractors were British built.
It was more likely a fork lift engine.
