Actually, IH had a HUGE market share in Europe 1960-1980. They were the number two producer of tractors on the continent, And Europe had lots of small farms, lots of small tractors. The European factories also did a trmendous export market. Australia was a small market, but IH did very well there percentage wide. Cub Cadet was not included in the traditional numbers.

In addition, starting in 1955, the International 300 and later 350 Utilities did very well compared to the Farmalls- maybe not as many, but very respectable.

We're not making up the numbers- IH advertised tractors as being this number produced. 5 millionth was in 1974. You want to say IH was lying, fine, whatever trips your triger.

But all those "Minor" models, and there were hundreds of them, do build up to some pretty big numbers. Count just the -4 and -6 tractor total including the Supers- I don't think you hit 100,000, but you come close.
