EVA
From Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki
The firm of EVA are a Belgium based Ford tractor dealer and converter. The firm built Four-wheel drive conversions for the European market and 6-cylinder conversions using a special cast sub frame to solve the problem of the Ford industrial engine not having a stressed (structural) block that the Agricultural engines have.

Tractors featuring the EVA sub frame:
[edit] Preservation
The odd example of continental conversions are being collected in the UK now as people look for that "Unusual" tractor to add to there collection. Other tractors using the EVA supplied sub frame built by UK converters and Ford can be seen at shows. Some examples have EVA cast into the near side of the casting. ( see photo above)
