What years and/or models did Massey Ferguson switch from Hinomoto to Iseki?

I looked a long time before I bought my little massey 1215 and I know that Iseki was the builder for all the 1200s from about 1996 to present.

The 10 series was Toyosha built some were made until 1994.

The 11 series was Iseki and came out in 1992.

Do you know if Iseki was sold under any name in the USA prior to 1992?

Prior to the 1990's, Iseki made the Bolens large Garden/Small utility tractors. They also made the White compact/utility tractors... I believe this went back to the early 1970's if not before....

They of course are now making many of the Massey Ferguson in the 1200 series line, Agco ST Compacts and the new Caterpiller Challenger line which is really just the Agco ST's in Yellow paint vs. orange.

I happen to have a Grey Market Iseki which is basically like the Massey Fergusion ferguson 1125 series which was the machines out just before the 1200 series line. Mine is a 1993 model TA 210.....

The smaller Whites were Iseki built from the mid-late 70s to the late 80s.

I have an Iseki TS1700 Deluxe gray market diesel, two wheel drive.
I am trying to find out about it.. Are there any cross over machines?
Does anyone know of some one who does service and repairs on these tractors in the Sacramento County, CA area?
Thanks!

I am not personally familiar with a TS1700 - but the TS1910 and the TU1900 cross to Bolens compact tractors with little change. I would start out looking for a dealer that used to sell and service bolens, although I think they were more popular in New England than the west coast.
