I remember reading that when IH sold the agricultural division to Tenneco, they couldn't unload the Farmall Works in Rock Island, IL, because Tenneco didn't want a 60-year old plant. Does anyone know what happened with this plant, or even if it is still standing? I'm also wondering where my Farmall 100 was made - at Rock Island, or somewhere else? I understand that IH had a plant in Milwaukee at one time, and plants in other places.... dunno where.

Thanks a lot!

Also Geelong (near Melbourne) Victoria, Australia.
The plant was extended in 1947 to build W6 and M tractors. The Australian built tractors (AW6, AM etc)were basically the same as the US built tractors except the wheels were much heavier, no magnito and kerosene was the prefered fuel.

Farmall Works is still standing, and is an industrial park with an excellent fill rate. A Farmall 100 was built at Louisville Works (Louisville, Ky), which was just demolished for an airport expansion. The Milwaukee Works is still standing in parts, and isoperated by Miller Compressing, a scrap company. Chicago Tractor Works is an empty field in Chicago. Melrose Park is still owned by Navistar, making engine components and acts as a parts warehouse. There's a whole bunch more factories out there- I don't know if anyone's ever made a list of all the sites.

Thanks for the information! I've been wondering where it was built. I'm looking forward to your next book.
