Sales  Fiscal year 1971
 
JD        897 million
IH        915 million    (ag and industrial combined)
MF       650 million
AC       174 million
Case    134 million
White   126 million    ( 3 brands Oliver,MM,White)
 
AC sales were 20% of the big green. I imagine tractors were the bulk of the sales. I would have never guessed the gap was that big.

Were those figures worldwide or only for North America?

The article didn't specify. It stated corporate totals of ag sales. Probably global sales.  According to Farm and Industrial Equipment institute there were only 134,070 tractors sold in 1971. I believe that to be a US sales number. So multiply that by $7000 avg cost for a tractor. That is not even 1 billion dollars.

But that was just in the ag division correct? AC was HUGE and made so many different things though. I would like to see what AC over sales in everything they made was compared to JD.
