Wish today was like these times. Nowadays you gotta wait months to get your crap serviced and you gotta order everything and these junks don’t last nearly as long as old tractors
Great advertisement and good display of the help of a supporting wife who was an integral part of a successful farm operation and especially a cornerstone of a good family life. May God bless America, Merry Christmas to all farmers, Ciao, L (Morningside Farms, Inc)
Ah the good ole days when service was actually a thing. Nowadays you can’t do anything. Can’t buy sh!t because they ain’t got stock. Can’t get your own stuff serviced because of lack of mechanics and dealerships being overwhelmed and taking months. Overhauls don’t exist anymore and aren’t even an option because of how crappy service is. They make you wait 8 months to order your new expensive super tech tractor that ain’t gonna last nearly as long😂😂 Man what a time to be alive
sweet video... just remember most people that do large scale farming with the big equipment really work for the machinery dealer always buying new hi-tech high HP stuff 😎 thanks
You would think they would have used a competitors tractor to show overheating and oil burning, etc. This way they wouldn't be admitting their older designs were inferior!
Exactly what I was thinking. The dealership wanted him to buy the IH radiator rather than the pattern copy, but if the IH item was so good, it wouldn't have overheated in the first place !
Hi Ben, so do I, I am "romantically" attached to this tractor I grew up with, purchase date 26 May 1956 - original owner (my grand-father's), what option do you have? Ciao, L (Morningside Farms Inc.)
The 400 had a very poor head design that was prone to cracking when the tractor was worked,, was fine for raking, hauling loads, baler, green chopping, elevator, what one would call light work, but when "worked as in plowing, corn chopping, or any real hard work cylinder pressures combined with the extra heat from working,,,, boom! cracked head, uncle worked at ih and had several on his farm
I've heard that about the 400 diesel cracking heads because the chamber for gas starting created a hot spot in the head. But I've never heard of it in the gas tractors.
I had the comments turned off since I uploaded that video back in 2014.. You are lucky enough to be the first person to comment publicly since I turned them on 🙂
i KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN - I SUPPOSE IT WAS AN OLD TRACTOR ANYWAY - AND I. H. DIDN`T WANT TO BE SEEN ATTACKING ANOTHER MAK,E. A SORT OF BALANCING ACT! I CAN`T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE!
I don't know much about the foreign stuff, but going by the few pics i looked at on the Google interweb they at least looked quite spiffy. It said that they went out of business and were absorbed by Claas in 2008 or something like that. Claas Is another one of them foreign tractor companies that I only know about because of Farm Simulator 22, lol!
@@Somewhere_In_The_Barn Their products were pretty good though. I agree the 'Management' was pretty rubbish. Also, IH had fingers in a lot of different pies, and were basically over extended financially and production wise and so weren't able to weather the financial turmoil of the early 80s. The so called 'merger' with Case created an over abundance of different tractor models from the two manufacturers, and so a degree of product rationalisation was necessary. Still think it was a mistake to do away with the 'Snoopys' which had recently been re engineered and genarally beefed up, in the form of the Super 70 Series. Not many of either the 7288 or 7488 were ever produced - 16 of the latter model I believe. In an ironic twist, subsequent Case/IH tractors used a significant proportion of IH hardware (transaxle), and ideas. Just goes to show where the real brains and innovations came from !
Meals prepared and tractor talk with the wife. It doesn't get any better than that.
You won't see todays tractors still being used on the farm 70 years from now like the old red and green.
I love these old promo videos.

I can’t stop laughing because it is true !! And all this in order to become a red new hollander!! lol
To the person that uploaded this ,, thank you and thank you again for turning the comments back on. This video is great.
I remember IHC packaging their bearings in very sturdy combination waxed cardboard and tin cans to protect the bearing till ready for installation
My grandfather made valves for oh when he worked at the trw plant in Cleveland Ohio .
Cant beat the old McCormick-Deering 15-30 and 22-36 on steel, I have one of each and both run. Great video, Thanks.

This makes me smile. With the I T shop manual. My father was a IH mechanic growing up.
Cool video. Really enjoyed watching it. We run an 806, solid tractor
Back when America was a manufacturing giant.
It definitely is not like it used to be.
This is pretty cool
Instead of a Farmall, they should have put the poor farmer on an old junky John Deere, and show him upgrading to a Farmall. :)
I've always thought the same thing about this video. They only built the 400s from 1954-1956. In 1965 it couldn't be more than 9-11 yrs old.
Yeah the old, tired tractor is a 9 year old Farmall 400..
Back then people had morels and trashing a competitor would be frowned upon
John Deere is the best
I was thinking the exact same thing!

Yeah but this video is about parts and service. You can't show off IH service if you don't have an IH tractor
Barac sent me here.
I have a international 300 utility tractor she runs like a top 1956 model

Bill give me those bearings
a little after the 10 minute mark ,Bill give me those bearings............................that is genius level bad writing
He worked there from 1940- 1980
Now none of these people have jobs bc of computers
Well that and they are probably all dead...
How does this video have over half a million views and no comments?
I had the comments turned off since I uploaded that video back in 2014.. You are lucky enough to be the first person to comment publicly since I turned them on 🙂
Because probably a lot of the people who seen this video are kids
Made at the Pullman ill works!
I dont under stand why they would bash their own tractor in a sales video.

It's a video about IH parts and service. You can't advertise IH parts and service if they're not using an IH tractor lol
I truly think Sam needs a new tractor. What do you guys think? This video was made the year before i was born. What do you old farmers think?
A 656 would have been a good choice
Hope they let him use a demonstrator
The biggest problem with IH tractors is that they weren't orange as we all know all real tractors should be!
wouldn't call Renault real tractors...

Change your oil
What happened to IH?
Merged with case.
@@nate3270 Damn right, we secretly own a little bit of everything!
IH is the reason Case tractors changed colour to red
Horrible mismanagement and an economic crisis.

Trade it for a new 4020.🤣
4020s are junk my friend. I work at a Case IH dealer and our trash cans are labeled John Deere 4020.
@@bendautremont523 I would take a 1066 also! 🙂
