No, that one was made in Romania.  I do not remember the name but I do know 
that tractor plants in Romania are having troubles.  John Deere recently 
purchased one factory and in building a copy of the John Deer version of 
the German Duez, also owned by John Deere..

My neighbor has a JD 5203.  He does work for us sometimes....nice
tractor, wish I had one.  We were talking about tractors and dealers in
town when I mentioned Mahindra.  He went off on how crappy Indian
tractors were.  I told him IH made some of the Mahindras, but it did no
good.  Anyway, when I found the tractordata site a few days ago, I
looked up his JD 5203, and guess what, the darn thing was made in India!
 I don't want to tell him his prize tractor was not American...lol....
