[Ford-ferguson] TO-30 camshaft

[James W Storment]

Hello Randy,
The only way you could have a Perkins is for it to have been substituted for
the original Continental Z129.   I have some repair manuals, (without which
I can't imagine opening an engine.   Send me your mailing address and I'll
copy some stuf for you
