Take your pick on which it is.
I am looking a newer tractors (60's and 70's)
Every time I find one I like as in the latest a 674, look it up on tractor data it says "Factory:Doncaster,England"
Does that mean it is all metric ??
Just kind curious. I have a lifetime tool collection and not many are metric.
Not sure I want to start over collecting metric stuff.

Thanks
Ken
 
I just finished working on a gas model. It is all American. Now we have a diesel at home and it has the German engine. Nice little tractors.
 
Hi Ken, the 674 was made in Doncaster England and if it a Diesel, the D-239 engine was made in Neuss Germany. Most 74 Series tractors that were imported into the USA were shipped in parts and assembled in the USA. There are some differences from the UK build model, like Delco Remy electrical system instead of the British Lucas system. The 674 is NOT Metric. Some of the Bosch fuel system has meteric threaded bolts but the nut heads are standard.

For the most part they do not have metric fasteners. The diesel engines built in Germany are manufactured to metric specifications but the fasteners are not metric. ( The bolts that hold the weights to the crankshaft might be the only exception.)

Starting about 1980 as new components were designed and put into production, the new parts would be metric. The Delco 10SI alternator was probably the first part that was changed to metric fasteners starting in the '70s. The 50 series tractors have metric parts on the things that were not used in the 86 series.
