From Northern Tool's site....


Loader made in the U.S.A., backhoe made in South Korea, tractor made in China. Tested and assembled in U.S.A. Can't find anything about the engine.

I think Perkins bought Shibaura. The motors may be manufactured in GA

Like some of the other big ag manufactures, Shibaura builds its products in several countries. It's venture with Perkins was to produce products in China. That new China venture might explain some of this Nortrac discussion.

Agree with /pine, that's a direct link to the 55/57 nortrac feature page at northern tools.
