About International
Let's delve into the history of International Harvester (IH), a renowned American company known for its trucks and agricultural equipment, and explore different models in a narrative way.The Foundation of International Harvester:
International Harvester, often abbreviated as IH, was established in 1902 through the merger of several smaller companies, including the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, Deering Harvester Company, and several others. The newly formed company aimed to become a major player in the agricultural and industrial machinery sectors.
Early Focus on Farm Equipment:
Initially, International Harvester concentrated on producing agricultural equipment, such as tractors, harvesters, and plows. The company's Farmall tractor line, introduced in the 1920s, was a significant milestone. These tractors were versatile and affordable, playing a crucial role in revolutionizing farming practices in the United States and beyond.
International Trucks:
In the 20th century, International Harvester expanded its product offerings by venturing into the truck manufacturing business. International trucks quickly gained a reputation for their durability and reliability, making them a staple for commercial applications, from delivery vehicles to heavy-duty workhorses. The Scout, a compact SUV introduced in the 1960s, became a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts.
Growth and Evolution:
International Harvester continued to grow and diversify its product range. The company produced a variety of truck models, from small pickup trucks to heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The Loadstar and the Travelall are notable examples of popular International truck models from the mid-20th century.
Challenges and Transformation:
In the 1970s, International Harvester faced financial challenges, including a downturn in the agricultural market and increased competition in the truck industry. As a response, the company underwent significant changes. It rebranded its truck division as Navistar International Corporation, focusing on truck manufacturing and engine production, while its agricultural equipment business was spun off into the Case Corporation, forming Case IH.
Legacy and Modern Times:
The International Harvester name, synonymous with rugged trucks and farm equipment, continues to live on in the hearts of many enthusiasts. International trucks are still found on the road, with a strong presence in the commercial vehicle sector. Navistar International Corporation continues to be a significant player in the truck manufacturing industry, adapting to the changing landscape with advancements in technology, environmental concerns, and customer needs.
