[AT] weighted tires or not???

[Stephen Offiler]

My '95 Ford 1520 was built just prior to New Holland acquiring Ford Ag.  I
seem to recall an arrangement whereby for some period of years, I think 5,
the tractors would be labeled "Ford/New Holland".  Mine just says "Ford"
and might be among the last to do so.  I have never pursued parts directly
from Shibaura.  I have had no problems getting parts from CNH dealers.  I
have a brick and mortar dealer within an hour's drive called Kahn Tractor,
but I happen to like Messick's quite a bit.  They are nice, helpful folks
on the telephone, and the location in PA means I see my parts by UPS Ground
in typically 1-2 days with no expedite fees.

I have NO idea how, when, or even IF the arrangement with Shibaura ended.

SO
