Are there any powertrain designs from the 70s and prior that are still in current production? I think maybe the McCormicks based on the IH Doncaster utilities are still around. What else is left?

i think the new McCormicks are not on the old CaseIH rear end trannys now...

the only ones i can think of are the MF copies still made around the world in a few places, India and Turkey are 2 that spring to mind.

Not sure about Turkey but India does have some reliable tech that has been around for years.

Eicher's are VERY common over there and the engines are pretty much the same as they were 40 years ago. They have made changes in the transmission but more on durability than any major change. I have a 94 model and it still have transmission driven PTO and non syncro transmission. This tractor is still available to this day there.

B series Internationals are still being made there under the Mahindra name.

Massey sells one that looks very similiar to the TO fergies.

Of course everything there is Diesal and they do have some more modern stuff but when you have a couple families living off 10 or 20 acres just having a tractor is a major step up.

Belarus tractors from the Minsk plant, the Farmall transmission, modified and updated but if you have been inside an H or M, you will see they are basicly the same powertrain.

The fiat design is still in the case jx nh utilities pretty much the same.
