I never noticed that, but now can’t unsee it.

Pretty sure Case IH still uses the emblem on tractors, including the current Farmall line. Though now it looks like the tractor’s about to tip over.

I always thought that was just a coincidence.

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > Just Jeepin' 07/20/2020 at 01:33

My experience with IH vehicles is focused mainly on Hough Paymovers:

Tough machines. Nearly indestructible, although the ramp rats certainly tried. We bought newer and fancier pushback tractors, but those ancient Paymovers just kept on running.

We really only replaced them for two main reasons: in our exclusive contract to operate all flights at a particular terminal we had to provide new equipment (even though newer does not always equal more reliable) and CARB was bitching about the emissions from those two-stroke Detroit Diesels. We also got rid of the trusty baggage tractors and belt loaders  with the classic 4.9l Ford I6 engines for the same reasons.

Whoa, never noticed that. And I’ve heard plenty about IH from my dad, he learned to drive in a Travelall

They do.

What they d on’t do, at least on their North American site, is to admit to being the C in CNH, a company still controlled by the Agnellis of Fiat fame.

And the “NH” is New Holland, after the town close to where my mother grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
