History
The merger of McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and the Deering Harvester Company in 1902 resulted in the formation of the International Harvester Corporation (IHC) of Chicago, Illinois, which over the next three quarters of a century evolved to become a diversified manufacturer of farming equipment, construction equipment, gas turbines, trucks, buses, and related components. International Harvester fell on hard times during the poor Ag economy in the early to mid-1980's and began exiting many of its business sectors in an effort to survive; in the process, it shed most of its operating divisions: Construction Equipment Division to Dresser Industries; Solar (gas turbines) Division to Caterpillar; Cub Cadet (lawn and garden equipment) to MTD Products and, lastly, the Agricultural Division to Tenneco who merged it with their JI Case subsidiary. After the Ag sale in 1985, all that remained of IH was the Truck and Engine Divisions and the company changed its name in 1986 to Navistar International Corporation. (The International Harvester name and IH logo were assets of the Agricultural Division and consequently were part of the sale to Tenneco; the IH name and logo are still in use being incorporated by Case Corporation into the Case IH brand name). IHC had used the International brand in both its construction equipment and truck product lines and the brand name continues on in product lines of Navistar's International Truck and Engine Corporation subsidiary. The Scout & Light Truck Parts Business was sold to Scout/Light Line Distributors,Inc. in 1991.
