I've been a Binder nut since back in the day!!!! I grew up in Farm Country (Not on a farm, but surrounded by farms, and I worked on a farm when I was younger). I always liked the IH stuff, vs that green stuff...... I am more familiar with the little stuff, since Dad has owned an IH Cub Cadet most of my life. He still has one that he bought when I was 4, in 1978..... I remember when IH started to stumble in the very late 70's and the first thing was them killing off the LightLine Trucks (Scout, Pickups, Travelall, Travelette, etc) and them disappearing from the dealer lots. Next was the selloff of the Cub Cadet line, and name to MTD in June of 1981. This is when they changed to just Cub Cadet, and are made by CCC Cub Cadet Corporation and the IH Man on a Tractor changed to the concentric CCC in the grill and fender pan

From July of 81 through the selloff of IH Ag to J.I Case, CCC made Cub Cadets for the IH AG Dealers. If you bought a Cub Cadet from a Farm Tractor dealer, the tractor was IH Red just like the 82 series from July 80 - June 81. It even had the IH Man on a Tractor logo in the grill and on the fenders.

If it was bought at a Cub Cadet Lawn and Garden Dealer, the tractor was Yellow and White with the CCC logos..

The final "end" in the original McCormick-Deering/Farmall/International Harvester Corporation was the sale of the IH Agricultural Tractor Division to J.I Case. This included the International Harvester Name, The IH Man on a Tractor Logo, the Marketing Rights, Paint Colors, Including IH 2150 Red, the Various IH Whites over the years (901, 902, 935), all things that identify International Harvester. This sale is what created the CaseIH tractors that are still on the market today, but one change is they have italicized the
IH in the logo
The IH Construction name (The Yellow and White Equipment) went away. I believe the construction "stuff" was bought by Dresser
The IH Trucks and Buses (the only part of the original McCormick-Deering/Farmall/International Harvester that still exists today) Became Navistar, producing medium and heavy duty trucks, school busses and engines, for use in-house, and as a vendor to other companies, such as Ford. Then used the Navistar name for just a short time due to lack or recognition. (I remember Navistar on the grill of a few trucks in the mid 80's). They then adopted Navistar International to be able to use the International name once again.....
