You're still including all models together. World wide MF is the largest. Period! Back in the day, Ford was second by a good margin(25%). Massey produced many more 100 series models than most people are aware of. They include; 122,125,130,132,133,135,139,140,142,145,147,148,150,152,154,155,157,158,160,164,165,168,174,175,177,178,180,184,185,188,194, then the 1000 series, which has many different models. A lot of models had several different versions as well and several other companies produced them under license. MF had 90 manufacturing plants by 1980 in 30 countries and were represented in 190 countries. Even in 1970, they had 59 factories in 22 countries and were sold in 182 countries. This includes all types of equipment. 100 series were produced in 19 factories in 1970 and that jumped to 35 by 1972, up to a peak of 40 in 1975/76. I'm sorry if you can't accept that MF outsold Ford. Both are global companies, so world wide sales would be the most accurate measure of units sold. JD sells the most in N. America but only in N. America. World wide, I think they're number 4 or used to be. The Banner Lane factory was the largest tractor factory in the world. Dave
