Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | When IH axial flow combines are called CASE combines ?
Case had absolutely nothing to do with developing the IH axial flow combine, CASE combines are those old orange things in the tree row with a tree growing out of the grain tank.
Cases only claim to fame was that they were the first to crawl in the pocket of mother Tenneco and Tenneco gave them permission to run broke and humbled IH about like Sadam ruled Iraq. I still remember the blood bath in local towns that had both Case and IH dealers. little tin pot case dealers were given the go ahead and the larger and often more modern IH store was turned into a storage shed.
When I walk up to the parts counter and the parts man asks what I need, I say I need something for my IH combine. Never will I call it a Case or even a Case IH, I will not give them credit they do not deserve.
Enough venting, but it just seemed that Case management really enjoyed torturing IH 20 plus years ago, and then claiming the bones were their own .
