I was a Kubota dealer during the 70s and 80s and I enjoyed overcoming resistance
from the "buy America" customer by showing him that pretty much all the under 40
hp tractors were Japanese.
Fords were Ishikamajima-Shiburi
Internationals were Mitsubishi
John Deeres were Yanmars
Whites were Iseke
Massey-Ferguson even had some 20 hp Japanese units and I bet these swapped
around now and then.
