I dispute it simply because it doesn't make sense to me in what was at that time a diverse tractor market. I won't argue that the 135 was without a doubt the best selling tractor in it's class.
I did know that the Dexta used a version of the Perkins. There were several around here and well liked too.
It wouldn't surprise me if Perkins was the largest engine supplier at one time either. The engines were, and are used in a wide variety of equipment other than Massey's. I think if you actually look at he claimed sales leaders today though, you'd probably find that Mercedes is #1(including Detroit Diesel), Cat is #2 (including Perkins) and Cummins is a quite distant third. That would be speaking to the north american market specifically, and most likely the world market... and Cat is probably not a very distant second.
