In IH introduced the 73 hp 54 kW and 95 hp 71 kW tractors. In IH introduced its first hp 75 kW two-wheel-drive tractor, the Another option became available in for the , and the new a factory-installed cab made by Stopler Allen Co. This cab is often called the "Ice Cream Box" cab due to its shape. The cab could be equipped with a fan and heater.
By , over , models , and were built. The International harvester was also built at this period of time becoming popular for smaller farms with tighter lanes and fields due to mobility and weight making the a popular seller boosting International harvester's slim profits.
These new "56s" were bigger and more powerful than the "06s". The new models included the 65 hp 48 kW , 76 hp 57 kW , the hp 75 kW and the hp 87 kW The "ice cream box" cab was still an option. In IH introduced the Turbo at hp 98 kW.
Also that year, the 91 hp 68 kW was introduced with the option of gearshift or hydrostatic transmissions. The "ice cream box" cab was dropped and replaced with the new "custom" cab made by Exel Industries, which could be equipped with factory air-conditioning, heat and an AM radio.
Another milestone for IH was the introduction of the Hydro which was basically a hydrostatic version of the , at that time the most powerful hydrostatic transmission tractor made in the US at hp 85 kW. In IH introduced the 66 series line. The new models included the 78 hp 58 kW , the hp 75 kW , the hp 93 kW turbo, the hp kW Turbo, and the hp kW V The hp 97 kW 4WD was also introduced.
The and were available with Hydro or gearshift transmissions and the choice of two-post ROPs or two different cabs, the "custom" and the "deluxe". In the replaced the long-running , the hp kW V8 replaced the , and the hp kW and the hp kW 4WD were introduced. Also later that year, four-post ROPs replaced two-post; The "custom" cab was dropped and the "deluxe" cab was now painted red instead of white. Due to horsepower confusions the and Hydro models were restriped; the Hydro and the Hydro became the Hydro On February 1, at am, the 5 millionth tractor came off the assembly line at the Farmall Plant in Illinois.
IH was the first tractor manufacturer to accomplish this. This ended an era that began with the first Farmall "Regular" back in The hp kW V8 4WD was introduced in In the entire tractor line got a new paint job and decal pattern.
No longer were the side panels all white with chrome and black decals: they were now all red with a black striped sticker. This was done to clear inventory for the forthcoming "Pro Ag Line". The models included the 80 hp 60 kW , the 90 hp 67 kW , the hp 75 kW , the hp 78 kW Hydro, the hp kW , the hp kW and the hp kW The driver sat well ahead of the rear axle and the fuel tank was mounted behind the cab over the rear axle. This increased balance and ride.
Also in , the 62 hp 46 kW along with the "86" series four-wheel-drives were introduced, including the , , and In International Harvester introduced the first Axial-Flow rotary combine. This machine, produced at East Moline, Illinois , was the first generation of over 30 years of Axial-Flow combines.
These tractors were the result of taking two rear ends and hooking them together with a transfer case. A year later, the was introduced. Despite the fact these tractors performed well in the field, they never sold well.
As the s began, IH was ready to climb from its own depression and become a leader once more. IH would face a stable economy, yet it would face an unknown fate. In September , IH announced at a dealership meeting the new "50 Series" of tractors, which included the hp kW , the hp kW and the hp kW IH also released the "30 series", which included the 81 hp 60 kW , the 90 hp 67 kW the hp 84 kW Hydro and the hp 84 kW These new tractors would prove once again that IH had the innovation to come out on top.
Designed and styled by IH industrial designer Gregg Montgomery, whose firm Montgomery Design International later designed the Case IH "Magnum" series tractors, the new stylish design of the "50 Series and 30 series would change the look of tractors from that time forward. There were many technology-related innovations in the new series.
A computer monitoring system "Sentry" was developed, and IH became the first manufacturer to add a computer to a farm tractor. Other innovations included a "z" shift pattern, an speed synchronized transmission, a forward air flow cooling system which sucked air from above the hood and blew it out the front grille, "Power Priority" 3-pump hydraulic system, color-coded hydraulic lines and controls, and a new rear-hitch system. The 50 Series had an unprecedented three-year or 2,hour engine and drive-train warranty, which would later become an industry standard.
Although no new sales records were set, IH sold a respectable amount of these tractors during its short production time. IH was well into the development of a new line of tractors that would revolutionize the ways of farming when the sale of the agricultural products division was announced.
After a downturn in the market coupled to problems with Spain's entry into the EEC threatened the profitability of this project, International Harvester withdrew in However, horses are still used to steer the engine. However, the market is not ready for the transition from steam, so Case waits until to reintroduce it.
Morgan brokers the merger of the McCormick, Deering, and three smaller brands into the International Harvester Company.
The series included A and B small-sized , H middle-sized , and M large-sized tractors. Cyrus Hall McCormick was one of the greatest industrialists of the 19 th century. At the age of twenty-two, McCormick invented a better reaper for harvesting grain, and patented it three years later, in Success came gradually as McCormick added elements to the reaper and improved it.
But the Panic of drove his business into bankruptcy, and he spent the next seven years paying off debts. In , He moved his business to Chicago, then an insignificant lake port, with a population of less than 30, By , Chicago reached 1.
McCormick continuously improved his machines, added other agricultural equipment, and expanded his factories. He and his brothers also developed the best marketing and distribution system in the industry, with over 10, dealers. In the same era, wealthy Maine textile industrialist William Deering had founded Deering, Milliken and Company, still today an important company today. But he invested in a farm implement company in Illinois, and by the s had left the textile business and moved to Chicago, where he built the Deering Harvester Company.
His innovations sometimes leapfrogged the McCormick machines. By the s, both McCormick and Deering had massive Chicago factories. Wilson, with additional contributions from Stephen R.
