I was just reading in 'Antique Power' magazine about the Russians in the early 'tractor days'. seems the Russians were challenged in tractor MFGing. they bought and reverse engineered Fordsons. They had lots of issues.The Russian metalurgy wasn't up to snuff at that time. Later they reverse engeeneered F20s,they made over 280,000 of them up untill 1955.IH only made 154,000 F20s.There were 4 different variations.The Russians also made copycat W30 and 10-20.They even hired American contractors to build tractor factories.I have also read where Sweden did the same with JD G and A during WW2.Only a few hundred of those were made.I wonder how many other countrys did the same?Not counting the Argentine 730,as they were made by JD,in a JD factory,useing JD tooling.Or the french F12,C,or the British MD/450It would be so cool if some of those foreign copy cats made it over here to the US.
