I understand that the Guzzi wind tunnel vibrates a lot more than the Harley wind tunnel.

Don't know about the tractor thing but in the dairy producing regions of Italy they call the bikes Moto-Guernsey ;)

fotoguzzi · « **Reply #13 on:** March 19, 2015, 07:22:52 PM »

did you get a new book?

actually the only thing in common with the 3x3 Mule is they both have a 90 degree twin.. the tractor motor was designed by Micucci and the v700 by Carcano and Todero.

so sure I'll bet...

Read it in CycleWorld's "365 Motorcycles You Must Ride", while sitting in the repair shop yesterday.

Hmm , thinking back to an article in one of the big mags where a famous rock musician was talking about not having any metric tools to work on his
'60S Triumph ::) They don't always get stuff right , and this is a case of that :o

But some metric wrenches can be " close enough" for those Whitworthless fasteners... ;)

And Whitworth screw drivers!!! I have Whitworth wrenches but my piles are late 60's when they became US sizes...

Yeah , the gradual move to SAE fasteners was odd , never understood why they didn't just go metric ??? Damn , I had several disagreements with some ignorant owners when replacing certain pieces on Triumphs in the '70s . "It must be metric , I can't get Whitworth bolts to work" or conversely ,"Why did you buy American nuts for that rocker box ?" ::) The English used what , 3 or 4 different threads over a 40 year span ? However , to the best of my knowledge , there was only one tractor engine that found its way into a car ~;

Yeah, three different threads types.And there was no consistency on any of if. When messing with older Triumphs I usually Helicoil engine case/ head thread holes. Was the tractor engine in Triumph cars?
