Ferguson-Sherman, Inc.

Ferguson-Sherman, Inc. was in Evansville, Indiana and founded in 1925. They
apparently are the ones who sold the "Duplex" hitch for Fordson tractors. I am
wondering if this manual covers the plow for the "Duplex".

Manual No.: 3543 "Directions For The Ferguson Plow"

Carrara Agritalia MF 3600 Series

This link is partially in English. It talks about Carrara Agritalia designing
and manufacturing the MF3600 series tractors in Rovigo, Italy. The article did
not mention, that I could read, whether they are also painting this series with
Challenger or Agco paint.

It does mention that MF lost a lot of market share in Italy when Landini was
sold off.

They did use one MF design feature, the electro-hydraulically shifted
independent PTO.

The following year, 1974, Massey Ferguson acquired the Hanomag construction machinery division of Rheinstahl A.G., West Germany. This meant that MF’s floor space for manufacturing industrial and construction machinery was increased by 170%.
