I am new here and I don't mean to offend, but the cause of IH downfall was neither union greed nor bad management. The times changed, and each of the manufacturers active at that time in the agricultural equipment business had more capacity than the market could support. This also explains why Oliver, Minneapolis, White, Massey Ferguson, and even Ford have changed hands or merged. Other posts have described some technical reasons why JD did a little better than IH. JD even tried selling bicycles to get by.
