I found a brochure from the early ?80?s showing The full lineup. TW series tractors. Wasn?t most if
not all of the implements made by outside venders? Plows, disks, haying equipment and corn
planters. What companies produced these pieces?
 
I was thinking White made the tillage equipment. The planter really puzzled me. One is an air seed drop and another one is a plate planter that almost looks like a Deere.
 
If I remember right, White made the air planter, too. The 670/672 cioppers were blue IH's, but it's possible iH didn't build them either.
I think a few models - like the 101 plow and 503 rake - were built by Ford.
 
I got to thinking about this more.... it's not that simple.
Round balers by Gehl, mower-conditioner looks like an IH, and the older one(s) were built by Owatonna (OMC). 513 rake was made by New Idea. Glencoe built the disk-chisel and some of the field cultivators, and I think the 242 disk was made by Sunflower.
 
535 Mower conditioner is a New Idea model 290, only difference I am aware of is the paint color. We had 2 535's at one time. Always wondered who made the 532 baler, had one of those for many years, sold a bunch of them too.
