International Harvester didn't fail. The tractors manufactured by the IH company just were not keeping up with the technology of the agricultural industry. The merger with Case was the only thing that saved either company in the fact that IH had a good reputation for durability and lovgevity, while the transmissions and hydralic systems were way out of date. Case on the other hand; had just invested a war pension into developing a re-vamped version of their powershift transmissions which they still couldn't sell. Both companies were sinking. Case were famous for breaking down, and International was having a hard time competing against companies like John Deere with the justly earned reputation for the most dependable equipment with hydralic systems and transmission design that was far above any competition. So in the simplest form, they took all the research Case had put into a tractor that they couldn't sell, painted it red, put "International" on the hood, and a new agricultural equipment powerhouse was born.
