IH was owned by the McCormick family, (along with Deering, until sometime in the 40's) until it was aquired by Tenneco, who merged it with Case and later spun it of as an independent company. Details get fuzzy to me after that, but somewhere along the line they were aquired by Fiat, who also aquired New Holland (formerly Ford) and merged the two companies and called it Case New Holland or CNH. New Holland and Case-IH are still separate divisions, but the new "Farmalls" are really red New Hollands, probably similarities between the larger Case-IH and New Holland tractors also. As part of the deal to aquire New Holland the McCormick name had to be sold, thus the McCormick tractors made at the Doncaster plant in England, which are also similar to the Case-IH tractors. This is only a mild scrambling of what happened, someone else can give all the gory details.
