I think the difference there was quality. I've heard about trannies popping out of gear on WD's, C's, B's and at least one CA. Never, ever heard about that issue on that obsolete JD. And when Both JD and IH were offering live hydraulics and IPTO well before AC it shows a lack of interest in research and development to me. It's kinda like IH staying with the TA as long as they did when even AC was offering a power shift. By the time AC offered PS that it was already too late and IH shot themselves in the foot too with the TA. In both cases it lost them sales. Another thing that really hurt both companies was trying to compete with an already full construction market. Ford, JD and Case only offered small equipment for a long time where both AC and IH devoted a lot of R&D money trying to compete with Cat that would have been better spent IMO on their respective AG divisions. For a long time both JD and Case didn't spend a lot on the construction market mainly focusing mostly on smaller things, not a full line until the market opened up.
