The serial number of the Model 20-35 in Australia is #1640; so assuming if they started at #1 then at least 1640 made from 1916-29. It does looked limited in numbers. The Cat E Model 15-30 was introduced late 1928. One with serial #3017 was test #165 at Nebraska Tractor Test Lab July 1929 and Schuberg's Model F is #3064. I believe the company started with #3001 as the first "Cat". There are only 5 that I have verification for; there may be others - I am in contact with someone who knows someone who has one in California but no followup at this time. There may be another in the Albany, NY area. I have seen letters written from owners in Africa and South America (as well as photos) in company brochures from 1928-29; so there may be some tractors remaining in those continents but most likely in a scrap yard or in a field.
