Back in 1987, I did the normal college leavers' thing of spending a few months travelling round America with a couple of agric pals as we had saved up a bit of harvest money. I remember going to the Houston Livestock Fair and Rodeo thinking I would see some big Yank equipment, and what's the first thing I see inside the door? A Case stand with a range of David Browns just like the 1390 at home, and with Made in England on the plates. Actually, it was remarkable how many British made tractors there were then, the Ford stand was also largely Made in England, and I think most Masseys too.
I had to work on a dairy farm in Maryland before I got my hands on an American built Oliver

the americans had a fair part in the design of the 90 series...hence why they were not exactly "brilliant" at first...

I've still got the 1987 CIH brochure I brought back- they were all red by then and selling both ranges, but of course most of the IH side were Brit too.

We once hired a 2wd 1594 synchro,did 4 loads to try the forager then lad took it home,he stopped at the pub on the way
then he went the back roads home got about halfway and hit a tree,took the front axle off and tipped it over onto the road,he then made his escape via the sun roof.Next morn the police are round at ours to tell us the tractor has been found crashed on the fell,lad maintained it had been stolen
The hirer got about £8k on insurance,were they ever £8k
