Bud, Hugh,
It's logical to me that the parts manufacturer's would have some sort of handle on this, based on the demand for certain parts. If I was some smart parts logistics guy in an aug company, I'd want to have some idea of total tractor numbers (and use) out there to forcast my manufacturing/profit numbers. If IH or AGCO or JD or whatever had certain part-demand- numbers from 19xx to date, that would seem to extrapolate well into total current tractor numbers, still in some sort of use. That would only leave the 1000's forgotten in barns and hedgerows and back pastures! Personaly, I'd love to know how many SMTA's are still roaming the earth!? 26,000 built, 2% loss per year since 1954? That would leave only the one in my door yard left!
