[SEL] Did they ever make?

[George Best]

Years ago there was a guy in British Columbia that made small two
cylinder tractors as winter projects.

He would use a Subaru flat 4 which is water cooled and horizontally
opposed.  He'd cut off half the engine and end up with a nice sounding 2
cylinder engine.  He brought them to the Lynden show for a few years.

Maybe someone else in the NW remembers seeing them and knows more about
them.

I'm sure I've got some old photographs somewhere of them, but that was
pre digital cameras so finding those photos might be difficult.

Ps..  I think one of the tractors he made was a 1/2 scale Waterloo Boy
using half a Subaru engine.
