I don't think that any production records have survived but the Norton powered Trusty tractors and cultivators were quite well known and reasonable sellers in the late 1940s / early 1950s and there were other makes which used the engines too.In order to use in a bike, the drive side mainshaft would have to be replaced as well as the head. However, cam gear is as per the 1938 - 47 engine which was also used in the WD Big 4 side car wheel drive outfits and I've heard recently of a rusty Trusty being pulled from a farm hedge to assist in the resurrection of a sidecar outfit.
