Pete: Did it ever occur to you these FC and Super FC models being built in France will have some French content. I have no idea what items are different, but I do know the FC was built in 1951 and 1952 only, after the US built C production ended. The Super FC was built from 1953 to 1957 and there were also Utility and Diesel versions. I do know the sheet metal is different from US built C and SC.
These tractors were built before the days of free trade and governments around the world demanded local assembly and some local content. Very likely the FC is much the same catergory as 444 assembled at Louisville. 444 cast engine, transmission and rear end were shipped from England to Louisville, where US manufactured wheels, front end, radiator, sheel metal, hydraulics, wiring and platform were added. I'm not 100% certain the FC and SFC had the same items added in France, however you can bet money it has some French content. I would almost bet the complete wiring, charging and starting system were one of those items.
