Chris: You best read my posts in this thread again, as you apparently have not comperhended what I have said. From the beginning I stated if they counted only commercial agricultural tractors, there is no way they reached 5 million by 1974 much less 50 million by 199?. What you are trying to argue could be absolutely right. I said right from the beginning if they counted every dozer, backhoe, loader, cub cadet, ride on lawn mower and farm tractor these figures may be right. I have no problem thinking the Farmall M in 1947 was indeed the 1 millionth commercial farm tractor built by IH. All I am saying is IH never produced 5 million commercial farm tractors in its history. The world has yet to see it's 50 millionth connercial farm tractor, of all makes combined. It is indeed you who decided to argue with what you wanted to believe I was saying. I can tell you this from dealing with IH in the 60s, 70s and early 80s, agricultural divission, the construction and truck divisions operated as separate companies under the IH umbrella. Quite possibly we may be closer on this than you may think. CNKS seemed to think Ken Updyke and Guy Fay, who have both researched and written books on this subject are the authority on this subject. They may well be, I have not seen their books. I make note of the fact they also didn't chime in here either. All I want to know is what was counted and what wasn't for those figures. My argument is that it wasn't only ag tractors, yet when it comes to that magic number the 1, 5 and 50 millionth always seem to be ag tractors which is very misleading.

On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractors and Farming - by Dave Gohl. I never thought I'd live to see the day, when I could call myself a farmer. What allows me to say this? Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
