When I was a kid learning about tractors and engines flathead engines were 
kind of considered old school. Overhead valves were considered the way to 
go.
My first tractor back then was a Cletrac AG. It had the Hercules 4 
cylinder which was a flathead. During the war years hercules could not 
make enough engines so they put that Continental 225 int the A Cletracs 
and they were called AG6.

I believe the 6 cyilinder Huricane engine they put in the Jeep picups was 
a Continental. Didn't they put them in Taxi cabs too?

I learned new appreciation for flatheads with the 6 Cylinder Chrysler 
Industrial in the Massey Combines. Smooth running but they did not 
tolerate overheating very well then what engine does.
