Agricultural Tractor?

Agricultural Tractor?
It is a small tractor, not designed for agricultural use
European?
This part is french?
By the way, while there were two companies involved (one from Europe and one from another continent), the details of exactly what each company contributed to the final product are unclear to me. I am not sure if the second company constructed the tractor using components from the first company, if the second company modified a completed tractor produced by the first company, if the second company produced the entire tractor under license of the first company, or if there was some other, entirely different arrangement between the two companies which resulted in the production of this tractor. That said, I do know quite a few details about the two companies as well as about the tractor itself.
Germany?

I am not 100% certain, but I believe the company was purchased by a larger corporation and that the brand name is no longer in use.

I have found an unofficial source which states that the Swedish company purchased non-powered versions of the tractor chassis from the American company and then installed its own engines. I am unsure as to the accuracy of that statement, but the vehicle was marketed as a co-branded product of these two companies.
Is the American tractor manufacturer still active ?

If it's any encouragement, the subject of this puzzle is not at all obscure compared to those typically featured on AP. While this type of vehicle may fall outside the domain of knowledge for most automobile enthusiasts, the answer is certainly within reach. In fact, a standard Google search for the 'brand' (the names of the Swedish and American brands together in quotes) produces more than 13,000 results, with the actual puzzle image showing up on the first page of Google Image results.
I've found a similar tractor called: Belos Gravely commercial 817. But from Latvia (for sale)
Belos, It's a Swedish tractors and lawn mowers manufacturer. Now Kärcher Belos AB. Moved to Obersontheim, Germany.
Gravely, It's a manufacturer of powered lawn and garden implements, originally from Wisconsin. Now part of AriensCo.
