Hi;
The earliest Ebro that I have seen was a slightly modified Fordson Super Major, the line having been sold to Ebro in Spain. Main difference was the handbrake mechanism was ommitted, just used the SM T shaped lift-up brake locking device.
They were New Performance SM blue & light grey colour, though the paint fades differently with the higher levels of sunlight.
They also made a narrow version with reduced width trumpet housings.
Later version was SM transmission & rear end mated to MF165 Perkins engine !
A handfull were imported into the UK but all were later re-exported when they decided not to market them fully in UK.
The Fo Mo Co lettering on the castings was changed to EBRO.
Ford did import some replacement engines from EBRO to fit Majors which can be found to-day.
The Ebro factory was taken over by Kubota who planned to build tractors in Spain for Europe, a venture that didnt work out.
If you email me dirrect I can assist you further, I live in Southwest Wales, know a little of their histrory here having been in the ag machinery trade all my life; and considered importing some recently.
