[AT] Actual tractor content - New Holland TC33D

[Herb Metz]

Cecil,
This is not your normal farm tractor.
In mid 70's - early 80's, a truck garden tractor, the Tuffbilt, a knockoff 
to the Allis G, was built here in Cumming, GA, approx 3,000, then some 
problems (not quality) and they closed the door.  Couple years ago some guy 
in Grant, AL bought the pieces and the rights, made a few changes (bigger 
motor, gas or electric, beefed up hydrostat, improved hydraulics lift) and 
they are being mfged today in Grant, cost is real close to $10,000  last I 
heard. Herb(GA)

Just FYI......   You might want to be sitting down when you see the
price for those manuals.   My TS110 cost about $900 at the time.  I have
a never used disc for a JX85 Case IH I owned for a few months and it was
$350 on CD....  My Belarus tractor manuals were about $100 for
everything....  The more I use these Russian tractors, the better I like
them..

I don't think there is any such thing as a US made tractor now.....
