Do you care to give a guess on how many farm engines
Frick built?  I'm interested in taking this thread as
far as the rest of the list members will allow.]

1) Case 35,836
2) Frick ?????
3) Huber 11,680
4) Keck-Gonnerman ~1750
5) Kitten 241

I'm not looking to make this a competition but rather
its a point of curiosity.  I did notice something
about my little Huber.  My #8213 was built in 1905 it
looks like Huber had already built most of their
engines by '05.  Did they peak early? or was this
typical of other makers?
