Mike: I think all French built C were actually Super C and they were all diesel. My understanding is a few Farmall C were shipped to Europe. They liked the tractor, but it had to have a diesel engine even as early as WW#2.
I doubt if very much of it could be called left over parts, it had the French built diesel, a factory 3 point hitch thus rear chassis was different from US tractor. I have some good photos of the French built Super C and about the only US built items I see are sheet metal, wheels and touch control.
Europeans liked our Farmalls, but they had to be diesel with 3 point hitch. You have the same thing with Farmall Super BMD, it had to be diesel and it had to have 3 point hitch. TA and IPTO didn't matter a damn to them.
Their cost of fuel even as far back as war time drove the diesel issue. You guys in the US think your hard done by on $4.+ gas. This is also what drove Canadians to diesel when the 6 cylinder Farmalls started coming into production in 1958. We've always paid 30% more for fuel than you guys. I've only ever seen a couple of Farmall 6 cylinder gassers. There is a Farmall 666 gasser at a dealer not far from me, in showroom condition, less than 3,000 hours on it. I can understand this, if one did own it you could never afford to use it here in Canada.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
