Put it this way.... there is nothing in the NH lineup today that was in any way derived from the Doncaster plant, or the models that were produced there by CaseIH. That was spawned off into McCormick.
What they are selling today is a line of compacts... some assembled in Japan by ISM (Shibura), and most assempled in Georgia with components sourced from ISM.
The next level up is a mismash of components that is mostly of Fiat parentage with a few tough old Ford components thrown in. I'm not sure if they're coming out of Modena or Basildon.
The next step up in power goes to a basic line (TL-A) or high spec (TS-A). The TL's use (as far as I know) an independant dry plate PTO. Where it's situated, I don't know. The TS series uses wet clutches throughout. Both are now largely derived from Fiat heritage, but they've found it necessary to hang onto some Ford based transmissions.....
The TS-A is built at Basildon.... and I think the TL is a Turk.
The next series up is the TM, again largely with Fiat components, assembled at Basildon.
The TG series is based on the last of the Magnum's with some feature carryovers from the Genesis line. As far as I know, they're assembled in Racine....

To be quite honest, there isn't a whole lot in their lineup anymore that really makes me want to go out an buy one. I can't really see dropping 80 grand to get new paint on a lower spec tractor than I have now.... so I for one will just keep fixing.
