Brad your right once JD went from the 2 & 3 lung tractors to the 4010's and 4020's that's where they made their name. IH did this in the 20's. 30's and 40's with the 4 cylinder M. IH lost it in the board room by not investing in new transmissions and modernizing their tractors. Their engins were allways great it was their transmissions. look at the early 560's and the great shifting problems that only got worse from the 56's to 66's and I'm told really bad in the 86's.

Even today the ergonomics on the IH's is far surperior to some of the NH's (really Fiats).
It's also sad that when Case merger with IH theri was a JD Killer design on the table that lacked the funding to make it to the assembly line.
I had high hopes for CashIH and liked the IH design that was eventually buit and very disappointed with the Fiats painted red.
