IMHO, the current use of the McCormick name is a renewal of a defunct, abandoned name. McCormick as an independent company ended when it merged with Deering in 1902 to form International Harvester. They used the old names on equipment for many years to trace their heritage & keep the former Deering & McCormick dealer networks happy. That name useage might have been part of the merger agreement. Similar name useage- In about 1985 Tenneco, who owned Case, bought International farm equip division. Part of the agreement was to use both names for a few years. International trucks changed to Navistar, but still uses the International name on vehicles. Oliver carried the Hart Parr name along with its own name for a while. The Oliver name, along with Minneapolis Moline ended when they were taken over by White. Freightliner Trucks carried the White name for a while during a marketing merger with Peterbuilt, Western Star, & Autocar, then dropped it. When they bought Ford heavy trucks in about 1995 they dropped Ford & Picked up the Sterling name, which had been abandoned around 1950. The Freightliner name survived ownership by Mercedes & Chrysler, don't know the current ownership. Volvo Trucks bought GMC heavy around 1980, & Autocar around the same time. Don't remember if White & GMC had merged earlier or if it was one big transaction, but they carried both the GMC & White logos until about 1986. They recently bought Mack from Renault, but still maintain Mack as a seperate line. More than you really wanted to know. Willie

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
