Might be LCI, all their tractors had Bulldog loaders. My old 2002D came with a Vietnamese or Japanese battery, my mind is not for sure which.

LCI, 'Lucky', in VN still has a website up but I haven't read of anyone getting a reply from them.

I have often wondered if there was a connection between them and the "LCI Equipments" that WAS located at Will Point, Tx. I know the defunct LCI at Wills Point was a large importer at one time. They had a yard full of tractors when they were in their prime.

That website shows Bulldog loaders and LCI-branded hoses. If those components appeared on the Wills Point tractors - that's proof to me.
I also noted their website looks real active assuming this footnote there is real:
If they are no longer selling in the US, does anybody know where their market is now?

yep my hoses still have LCI on them, I just Replaced the LCI belt that was 90% cracked through in 3 or 4 spots and missing a small hunk out of the back of it. Served well I guess, not the longest I have had belts last (quality ones easily will last 10-15 years) but it lasted about 8 years, and was replaced with like a $5 replacement and I have like a $3 one from Amazon ready in backup. I ordered the amazon belt to get here at a certain point because I needed it. I replaced the battery, changed the coolant and the hose all at the same time. Amazon dropped the ball on prime shipping and it arrived in almost 2 weeks. That's why I had to buy one from Advance (I think is where I came from) so that I could put it together when I needed it. Called amazon and they told me to keep it, I was going to return it since I told them it was too late and I needed it and had to buy it elsewhere, and while I was on the phone I requested my free month of Prime. They give you a free month whenever you ask when they have a late shipment, which I get all the time.

NO I know that. But he was asking who was LCI big customers now since its not really the US. I don't see the bulldog loaders on the Craigs list adds for tractors advertisting "YNM tractors" I see V3 loaders on them
