[QUOTE="essexpete, post: 7844431, member: 553"] I think McCormick, like Farmall, was a brand name of International Harvester. It was not seen as a name on UK tractors since the 60s (IIRR). IH was bought/merged into the Case Corporation in the 1980s. Case IH was bought in 99 by the Fiat Corporation and merged into the New Holland group. At that point, due to monopoly issues the group had to unload some factories and production over the World. This included the Doncaster plant, which had originally been IH. The brand name Mccormick was sold with the factory and some existing Case models to the Italian Argo group that also owned Landini. In the mid 00s the the Doncaster plant was closed and new Mccormick tractors became Italian in origin. From what I gather, the only IH Mccormick heritage today is the brand name. [/QUOTE]
