The smart dealers with connections to Chicago HQ knew many years prior that IH was dysfunctional. One area dealer hedged his IH bets by 1980 carrying Deutz, Hesston, Steiger, Versatile, Wilrich, and Kinze as well as IH. He said the IH block man was always on his back about the duplication and threatened the dealer with cancellation. It never happened until the Case IH merger. A couple other dealers carried New Holland and got the same consternation from the block man until the dealers retorted about who was going to sell the dozens of 66 series tractors on the lot if they got cancelled. I would imagine a fair number of dealers in general knew but were not strong enough to cross IH by going public with IH's problems.
