Ralph,

I thought from seeing a couple Rockols that they were the same as a Custom. 
I had the opportunity a couple years ago to compare them at a show where 
there was one of each.  They are very similar, but there are enough 
differences that they certainly are different tractors.  I've forgotten 
where the Rockol was built, but it's emblems indicated Canadian origin... 
maybe Hamilton, ON?

The Custom was definitely built at TMCOTKU, Shelbyville, IN.
