The second edition of the award-winning history of International Harvester and Case IH tractors includes data and photos of every model built from 1958 to 2018 and in-depth information about how these tractors were designed and constructed. With interviews with engineers and executives, the book covers how the 40 and 60 series were created and thoroughly covers the red tractors from the 1960s through the 1980s.
The book also traces the innovations and struggles of the final days of International Harvester. The authors unearthed a treasure trove of concept drawings and photos of prototype machines to shed new light on how these tractors were created. The book includes the exciting story of the creation of the Case-IH Magnum, an innovative machine that blends some of the great engineering done by IH with the Cummins engine built by Case. The modern era of Case IH is also included, with the story of the creation of the Quadtrac and the entire line of tractors.
With a mix of new photography of some of the most exceptional collectible models in existence and hundreds of previously unpublished photographs, this thorough book is the most authoritative guide on red tractors ever published.
