[AT] weighted tires or not???

[James Peck]

This says Shibaura built several models for Ford New Holland. I bet the arrangement ended when they rationalized the Ford and Fiat product lines. Can Stephen get parts for his Ford through Ford or Shibaura sources?

I once interviewed to work on US built controls systems of Ishakawajimaharima Heavy Industries built stamping presses headed to a now closed GM stamping facility.  Never heard back about that one. This says that Shibaura was a joint venture of Toshiba and IHI.

[James Peck] This Wikipedia article says Yanmar is selling diesel engines to Deere. Those arrangements change by the minute.

[Stephen Offiler] Who said Yanmar stopped building Deere tractors?  Who are the "they"  you refer to?

My tractor is not a Deere and it is not built by Yanmar (it is a Ford built by Shibaura as previously mentioned) and my rims are metric.

[James Peck] When did Yanmar stop building tractors for Deere? Do they sell the metric rims?
