<p>the Europeans have us beat on the numbers. Belarus has produced
3938600+ since the first wheeled tractor rolled off the assembly
line in 1953. Information from Belarus website. I wish
duringthat time they had designed a color code for their
wiring....<br>

Pretty similar to the one I was looking at, but
different enough to suggest the data was separately
gathered. Mine came from the USDA yearbook 1960,
Power To Produce. Thus the chart stops at 1958.
Where did yours come from?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Somewhat of
a SWAG, but there were about 4.8 million
tractors in the US in 1960, exclusive of garden
tractors. Certainly many of the then 30 or more
year old tractors were already gone. So numbers
originally produced by 1960 would be higher,
call the total 6 million. The annual production
peaked in 1951, just over 600 thousand. It
dropped off sharply after that. I doubt that as
many have been built in the 60 years since 1960
as in the 60 years prior. Call it another 4
million. That puts total US production in the
range of 10 million.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">What about
the rest of the world? Maybe as many more as
the US built? If so, that would put total world
production around 20 million. That has to be
about the right order of magnitude. Adding in
garden tractors, and even deciding what a garden
tractor is will make a big difference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
