Thank you Sammy for all your efforts. I'm not telling you anything you don't know but for the record I think the problem is that the original manufacturers stopped building the engines because the Japanese and Chinese manufacturers' products were good enough and too cheap. So Teledyne Wisconsin (or its owners) stopped being a manufacturer and became agents for the Asian manufacturers then decided there was not enough money in it and sold what remained of their importing business to Nesco who quickly flicked it on to VLTool? Maybe Subaru / Fuji dropped any association at all with Wisconsin.
Maybe other small businesses took on the old Wisconsin Motors name and they are Wisconsin Motors LLC and Wisconsin Engines LLC? But that's another of my not good enough guesses and I think we have to find that publishedt as a fact in hard copy somewhere. But I guess when a business has taken 20 or 30 years to die and somebody unrelated uses the old name it gets difficult to reliably describe what's happened - unless you have easy access to all the records in Wisconsin and Tennessee and Lord knows where else.
Should this article be deleted on the grounds it tells us something but not enough? Cheers, Eddaido (talk) 23:58, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
They were a manufacturer, not a distributor. (EDIT: they also were distributor for Robin, sorry. Sammy D III (talk) 18:38, 23 July 2020 (UTC)) I think it was a pick-up-the-pieces deal when somebody else dumped them. V&L Tools is a high-dollar machine-shop, Dyer TN was assembly. Could Subaru have been the distributor of an American engine???. Newest model I could find had US SAE with (metric) measurements. Subaru stopped selling in 2017, V&L went bankrupt in 2018. Coincidence?[reply]
Why delete it? Views are bigger than I would have thought, maybe someone will play with it. Should be easy to improve, huh? I'll probably drop a little more. Have a good day/night. Sammy D III (talk) 03:18, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Language?

[edit]

@Eddaido:. What language do you want this in? US for US company? It's NZ now? Your call. Sammy D III (talk) 16:17, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Sorry, please translate to US. Will be interested to see the amendments. Cheers, Eddaido (talk) 02:39, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
