Long story short ********t started in late 1800's making binder wagons etc. Got really popular in the 40's/50's had a revolutionary tractor design with the 20,30,40,50 design and in the same period for a brief moment where the top combine seller as well. In the mid 60's formed with a couuple American companies to become White and then in 80 formed to become Agco-Allis.

Weird, hadn't heard of this and it's only 30 minutes from home for me. I did grow up in a *****hutt though, and later on some Whites. Locally, there was also a Massey Harris plant, long gone now too.
