Yup.  I think the entire 5000 series were import machines.

At one point in the 1980's Allis Chalmers 6000 series were the only under 100 hp tractors built in the United States, though parts were built by Fiat/Hesston. 

Does anyone know where the 6000 series rear half were built?

I always find it funny when a guy talks about his Deere compact tractor having a Yanmar engine. Um, hello, the whole tractor is a Yanmar lol!

White, Cockshutt, and Minneapolis-Moline is unique in this discussion, as they were amalgated through acquisition and cross merger along with Hercules (industrial engines) and several other industries over the timeframe of 1947 through 1960 or so.

My neighbor's Deere compact utility  was made completely in India.  All the attachements, too.. bear MADE IN INDIA.

Badge engineering though, is a relative term.  It is important to determine 1) Who OWNS the manufacturing facility and 2) IS the product originally of some OTHER manufacturing marque?

The Mitsubishi/Chrysler cooperative period of the mid '80s is a prime example:  The Dodge D50 diesel compact pickup truck my grandfather drove, was a Mitsubishi-made machine, the only identification otherwise, was the DODGE labeling and exterior.  Mitsubishi dealers sold the exact truck under their name... and they did it before, AND after.  Mitsubishi is a perfect example, as it's cooperative history spans most major manufacturers worldwide... and the were in the habit, like many, of selling stock portions to companies with which they fostered business agreements.

EVERY major manufacturer sold their machines to other manufacturers for two purposes:

1) to further the production scope and sales of THEIR products and

2) to reduce their parters' desire to develop a competing product.

In both cases, the reality was co-beneficial symbiosis... both sides won.

If both sides won, then who lost?  Well, to a certain extent, the consumer... because amalgation of competing resources deprived the marketplace of true competition... like having the choice of buying a Chevy S10, or an Oldsmobile Bravada, or a GMC Jimmy, you're getting the same car.  Yep, prices will be a little different, the trim a little different, but same otherwise.

Skid steers... Most of the 'brand' names you see, came from one of mebbie two or three manufacturers.  My Case 4130 is a Hydra Mac 6C.  You can find it in just about ANY color from yellow to green to probably three shades of blue... and they're all the same machine, with the same air-cooled Onan NHCV that burned up.  You can buy a Lawn-Boy mower, and several different brands of chain-saw in yellow, red, and green.  You can even buy green bicycles identified as "RARE" on Craigslist and Ebay... just ordinary repainted department-store grade.

It is the way of business.
