The Case IH tractors that were developed after the merger, used a lot of IH transaxle componentry, simply because it was much better than the Case equivilent. Even had IH Part Numbers on said components. Case really fouled up by scrapping these and the newly developed Series 3 'Snoopies' !
The doors sure weren't the best, especially in the wind but still beat the heck out of stumbling in and out of a soundgard cab. They were the best, your looking at the forerunner of the Magnum, no better transmission and engine combination made.

@65882Plus2 If you're still around around, please add the words "New Number One" to the title of these two videos. People (IH fans) need to be able to find this when searching on those words. Thanks!
Had a 4440 back then.Tried a 5088 and heard that John Deere was coming out with a new line of row crop tractors in 1982.The result was that we purchased a new 4450 MFWD.That Quad Range had a about 10 years of being on the market at this point in time.Wherer was the comparison to similar MF,AC,Ford,White and Case tractors in 1981?The 466 cid in the JD tractors delivered.
What would you look for when buying a used tractor? are there any older units that will perform most same tasks a modern day tractor could manage, but that won't cost me much and could be found at an auction. Any advice would be appreciated. If you have any recommendation for videos or sites where I can learn more about tractors i'd be much obliged. Thanks
Quad range sucked. annoying slot shifting, no foot throttle (as most American tractors those days) Powershift of the Case 1370 wasnt up to European standards either. (Not that there were that many triple powershifts in Europe those days, but the dualpower, multipower and torque amplifier, were a lot nicer) Never tried a US built IH though, but would love to.
ordered a Tape out of Redpower Magizine years ago, it full of old promo films.
IH finally built and excellent transmission! The 50 series tractors should have been the tractor that saved IH. Still a great tractor!
Michael Halsall at least they ended on an extremely high note
Late '85, early '86, the "New Farmall" aka the Magnum was to debut. Powershift, Hydro-mech, and the STS were to be options on them.
Love the 50 series. We have a 52 and I’d like to get a 50 and 54

Oh those lucky Mother 5000 series drivers. I grew up on a Farmall 806 and 1466.
computers back then were awesome with CNC cuts and now we look at those computers and think they look shitty and they are
No better tractor in its day.
Thank you so much for this video
Synchronized ranges was a huge leap forward back then

I liked those cabs, notice that people have personal opinions.
How similar is this tractor to today's units and would it hold it's own still?
Mort Goldstien sts became the 18 speed powershift in the 70 series magnum
and then?
Still used today in the mxs

Well the pressure from the hydraulic pumps are slower and they won't go 30mph like the new ones, but otherwise they aren't much different.
