I don't think Ford was worried about ANY claims that MF ever made, hence no need for a lawsuit... Ford just went on about building tractors.
You still didn't give total production numbers for MF... Somewhere around here in one of my Ford history books is a picture of Ford's 5 millionth tractor. IIRC it was a 1983 model 7710 assembled at Romeo. Given that they were still producing over 100K units a year at that point, they should have been near six million at the end... If you want to play the derivative game with the knockoffs, then they're still being made in India and NH is still building a few models based on the last of the 40/TS components... and I'm sure they're building a LOT of them in India.
The Fordsons... The 'F' was probably one of the most vile things ever built but they were less vile than a team of horses. They were cheap and nasty but they still sold something like a million of them. Then a million or so more Fordsons after the 'F'. A million more N's and various hundred series tractors, a million odd thousand series tractors and probably a million and a half plus that again with 600 and 10/30 series and 40 series tractors. There were probably some periods of time that MF sold more tractors per year then Ford but I doubt it makes up for the periods of time that they wern't even in the game...

As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
