I was trying to look up the exact date of the sale to New Idea. Those were IH engineered and I think they were introduced around 1980. I think NI got involved about 1983 so that would mean the first few years were built in an IH factory then after that a NI factory until 1987 or so. Iv'e seen those choppers with the CaseIH logo on them. 1983 was the approximate NI became aggressive and sourced planters from Kinze. Concerning my statement on the Kasten wagons that was a financial decision about the IH designed wagons being no longer profitable to be built by IH. Back at that time there was a pride issue for companies such as Deere and IH being "full liners" so IH felt the need to have a wagon to sell so Kasten came in. I think that predated Archie McCardell's reign at IH although I have seen that decision chalked up to him. I used to have a couple of good sources on IH corporate but have lost contact and would not be surprised if they have passed on. The merger is going on its 30th anniversary this year.
