They would of merged or bought into some other organization. The question would of been would of they ended up as part of Agco, or maybe they would of bought up the end of Allis Chalmers and made Case-Allis or CMF (Case Massey Ferguson), Ford or tied up with someone outside of the US (like Allis Chalmers or AMC did) or bought up some of the short liners to build a line. As for International they were in a long slow death spiral, don't know how far they would of descended until they disappeared or merged into oblivion and could of ended up with any of the partners or scenarios that could of befallen Case or even snapped up by Ford who was acquiring assets trying to make their Agriculture Division viable. I heard rumors that clauses in Henry Ford's will committed the Ford Motor Company to producing tractors and those clauses were in effect while any of the beneficiaries of Henry's will were alive, this prevented Ford Motor Company form selling or quitting tractors until after Henry Ford II died, I don't know how true that was as William Clay Ford SR lived until 2014 and I assume he was also a beneficiary. Remember Ford bought New Holland and Versatile before they sold off that division to Fiat. Another scenario may of involved all of IH merging into Ford Motor Company with Trucks merging into Ford Trucks and agriculture into Ford tractor division, the interesting thought is if Ford would of kept the IH name and continued to produce and market trucks under the International name they could of started marketing Ford light duty Trucks and SUVs as Internationals and became a desired paring for import dealers to have for access to trucks and SUVs. Of course when IH agriculture fell to Case Ford was still a little weak financially so any involvement Ford would of had acquiring IH assets wouldn't of been financially possible until the later 1980's. But of course that isn't what happened so as fun as it is to talk about it it's pretty much a moot point.
