David Greenlees, I am glad to see you posting here. I have been addicted to your "The Old Motor" site for a long time. What an excellent site it is, too. Thanks for doing all it takes to create that - it is well done.

John Deere builds 50 hp tractors with three cylinder engines, where as a few years back, they were built with four cylinder engines. A three cylinder unit has roughly 75% of the parts as a four cylinder and is correspondingly less expensive to make than a four cylinder.

Henry Ford's ideas on cylinder economy are not lost in these modern times.
