To give you an idea of my perspective, I was born in 1963. My perception as a kid was IH was probably the most popular followed by Deere. IH dealers were much more numerous than the other makes in the area before the 1960's. Deere was geographically the closest to our neighborhood. We had an extremely strong Oliver, NH, and MF dealer till the early 1970's. The father passed on and the son did not have the aptitude to take over. There were also other factors involved, also. Had a strong AC dealer till the late 1980's but D - A had no interest in letting the son take over the business from the father even though he was a pretty good business man. Had a couple of really aggressive JD dealers come into the area in the late 1960's and that led to the JD dominance in the area today. CaseIH would have been better off if they had let a few of the IH dealers remain after the merger as opposed to the Case dealers. Case was never very strong here but had their followers just like MM and MF. Ford always seemed like they were in last place.
