Lineage line: M, Super M, 400, 450, and then 560. For the 460, it is the H, Super H, 300, 350, and then the 460.

The failures of the 460 and 560 drivelines really put a black eye on IHC despite their good faith effort to effect repairs in the field. In retrospect, I read that a lot of these failures occurred in areas of the country where the tractors were weighted to reduce wheel slippage to zero. More weight = more pull = more stress.

I was not aware of John Deere's similar problems--not updating drivelines for the higher HP engines attached to them, and not suffering the same black eye that IH experienced. It may be that buyers thought they had no where else to go. If the 4010s were failing, too, the IH alternative during that era was still the -60 series and their bad reputations.

I need to read Fay's article.
