I wonder if the guy did the counting was in PR or accounting (or if he worked for Arthur Anderson on the Enron account; in which case PR and accounting are one in the same). Reason I say this is: A quick count of the numbers produced on this page:
http://www.antiquetractors.com/Research/prodnum.htm gets me from 15-30's to Super letter series and totals about 2.5 million tractors by about '54. Number 501 300U was built around '56 or '57, I suppose. Next milestone was around '65 with the 4 millionth being an 806, I read. Question is: if it took ~8 years to make a million tractors from ~'57 to ~65, where did half a million tractors come from in the two to three year '54 to '57 time period? My guess is that some foreign built tractors might be included in the totals -- or, the decline in IH production starting around 1960 is more dramatic than I'd imagined. Anybody got a good handle on this?
