Cyrus H McCormick, inventor of reaper in mid 1800s went on to produce other farm equipment. By end of century he joined forces with rival William Deering in an amalgamation that saw them buy several smaller companies and call themselves the International Harvester Co. This amalgamation gave them a complete line of farm equipment. Over the years they have used names like IH, McCormick, McCormick Deering, etc. as trade marks Farmall came along in the early 1920s and was the name they placed on the then new row crop tractor. The International Harvester Co. operated from that time until the early 1980s using all the aforementioned trade marks. In early 80s they got in finincial difficulty and were bought out by Tennaco owners of amoung other things JI Case Corperation. They called the new company CaseIH. Recently there has been another amalgamation of CaseIH and Ford-New Holland. Somewhere in that transaction The McCormick name was sold to a company called Landinni along with plants in Euorpe. They are producing the same tractors as CaseIH were and calling them McCormick at Doncaster, England. This is very brief, I imagion it is still all owned by the same corperate interests. (A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME WILL SMELL AS SWEET) Same with a Corperate GURU.
