FMW company was formed around 1970, so very doubtful it would have been used in WW2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oats and barley Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 I know somebody on the forum was restoring a matey just thought it might be of interest, and somebody else has a military recon engine on ebay £950 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 It was the little Mercury Tractor that was used in WW2. A friend of mine has one. Delightful to drive as the acelerator is in the middle of the pedals. Caused me a few frights over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
