You are mistaken.

That is a motorcycle engine that somebody shoehorned into that lawn tractor frame.

Moto Guzzi never built a tractor ever.

Guzzi engine is derived from a Tractor

Is this true ?

A prototype Moto Guzzi engine cultivator was created but never made it into production. The only example is in the factory museum in Mandello del Lario.

bit of an aside, but I noticed when I installed Todd/GTMs fueling kit the shifting improved immediately. not sure why... ? I never really had problems with it before, but it was noticeably improved.

any thoughts? just generally smoother running motor I guess?

By the way. Maybe you know what's wrong with my bike. My 2017 V9 Bobber which I bought new in September 2021 and now has 7000 miles on it just died. I was riding along and it was as though someone just turned off the key. The Moto Guzzi dealer has had the bike for about 5 days and can't get any electrical from it. It's not the transponder in the key, or the engine shut-off switch or any of the fuses. The battery cables are fine as is all of the other wiring they have checked. Is there such a thing as a complete ECU failure or something like that? I've never had an experience like this in the 22 bikes I've owned. And the dealer can't figure it out either - so far.
 
First thing is they have a crappy ignition switch. It's common for the wires to break off the back as they are too short and sometimes under stress. I bet that bike has the new POS wet stator. They can short out internally, but yet still show up as good on PADS. That's Guzzi's diagnostic computer. Any competent dealer should have figured out either of those issues right away.
