We know that the tractors painted white for the Mid-Century sales promotion were made all at once- they didn't go white, red, white, red, because they were painted on the main assembly line, which could only handle one color. The first quarter of the year is also conjecture, but is pretty close- might have been three months, four months, whatever. A whole bunch were built.
