It was already tentatively settled, out-of-court. $35 per lawnmower and $75 per rider - directly to the consumer. That money paid out will just be added to later purchase-prices anyway. I.e. everybody will pay for it if they every buy new again.
At to torque being king? Not in all cases.
Your mention of the 26 horse 8N Ford compared to a garden tractor rated at 26 horse? And pulling each other? Weight, tractor, and gearing are the big factors. The garden tractor might weigh 700 lbs. and the Ford 8N weighs close to 3000 lbs. Huge difference in weight and traction. Torque is hardly a factor in that comparison.
If you took two 8N Fords, and put that garden tractor engine in one of them? If they had Sherman step-down transmissions so the 1/2 size garden tractor engine could keep the wheels turning - they probably still would be an equal match- chained back to back, as long as both engines could keep turning.
A 26 horse garden tractor engine is rated at 3600 RPM. Half the cubic inch size of the 8N engine, but firing almost twice as much. The Ford 8N engine is rated at 2000 RPM.
I don't see farm power numbers not equalling lawn and garden numbers being the big issue. They are "apples to oranges" comparisons. Garden tractor engines are often built to do higher RPM work then a Ford 8N ever was.
