Many interesting stories and comments and if I read right Deere passed IHC in the late 50s in sales. I guess I have always thought IHCs decline began after the production of the 56 series with the 56 and JD 20 series both being fine tractors. What I've always thought is that JD was first to recognize that the operator was not a part of the machine. The 66 series while ok tractors were no competition for the 30 series JD in terms of operator comfort in my opinion. By the time that the 86 series came along and provided a more comfortable cab so did the 80s and nobody was selling lots of new equipment. Just my 2 pennys.
