Picking IHs Bones Clean

Never have I seen a former company ripped-apart as much as International Harvester has been over the past 20+ years.Seemingly it started in the 50s when IH sold off their refrigerator division to competitors,then IH selling off their truck line to Navistar,then the tractor/ag line sold to Tenneco.Tenneco/Case merging with NH making it CNH,The Payline division sell off,now you have the "McCormick" line of tractors claiming heritage back to the original Cyrus McCormick equipment....so,an unknowing person today could be seriously flabbergasted trying to find the source of information/parts for a certain former IH product.Trucks go one way,tractors could go a couple ways,heavy equipment (Payloader/Drott) goes another.Refrigerators go nowhere....geez,its hard to tell the players without a scorecard.In the parts racket,IH and AMC were always considered half breeds because of all the farming out of parts sourcing their products featured (IH Holley,Prestolite,Delco ignitions,AMC Motorcraft,Motorola,Delco ignitions ...etc),now it seems truer than ever.Long after they were made,its more confusing than ever...to a novice especially.
What a strange trip its been...for anyone that sold/sells "IH" products.
