Pete, I'm not sure how long that the Steiger aquisition was tied up in court, but I believe the buyout started before the Case IH merger. Perhaps the conclusion was post merger. My memory is vague on the timing, but I know Case wanted all of it's dealers to document all our issues with the 90 series 4WDs for their court case to demomstrate that they needed to replace the ridgid frame concept with the Steiger design. Sounds wierd for a company to ask dealers for negatives, but I remember the senario. Perhaps the other old Case dealers might remember this also. We had sold a 4490 to a customer. It had a mind of it's own. We had Case service reps at our dealership multipal times, to solve problems. Finally we delivered the customer a new 4490 that we had provided him, out of our new tractor inventory, while the original one was broken down. Our service staff and company service reps tore out the whole electrical system and replaced it with new, and it was resold under a special program that Case set up. It did work as designed after that. Loren

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
