I couldn't agree with Hugh more. It's not like IH didn't have the know how, heck they already had the parts and pieces they needed in some cases, they just sat on their hand instead.
I've been around a few number series JDs and while the 2 cylinders and hand clutches sort of baffled me the rest of the machines were pretty well equipped.
It's funny, when IH finally figured out it needed to play catch up they rolled out the X60s.
