Also take a look at your 1950 number- they were making tons of Cubs, the total IH production for Cub, Super A, C, H, M, was quite a few thousand bigger.

The actual one millionth IH tractor probably was built in the 1930s (I've never seen mention of this one, although they did celebrate numbers of individual tractors like the 100,000 Farmall, 100,000 10-20, etc). 2,000,000 was probably in the late 1940s, 3,000,000 was in 1955 (article in Tractor Farming if you want documentation of that particular one).

I seem to remember a decal for the St. Dizier France factory celebrating 300,000 tractors produced there by 1976 or something like that- anyone have a better memory? And that was certainly the lowest producing European factory by a bunch. I do wonder if the IH-India joint venture tractors were included in the numbers.
