The original subject was "Re: 2096 case vs. 986 1086".
If you honestly believe that pile of stink you typed then one of two things has happened to you. Either you have been using crack and have fried your brain or you have rode too many hours in one of those crappy IH tractors that ride so rough that it has rattled your brain loose from your head. IH was not outselling Case by any margin. In fact at the time that Case purchased IH Case was outselling IH by a large margin. Thus the reason that IH was broke and going down the tubes and Case was able to step in and purchase the failing company. In case you missed it, the IH line of tractors was discontinued when Case purchased them due to them being inferior units. If what you stated were remotely true, the outcome would have been the opposite of what it is. Sounds like more sour grapes by someone holding on to a dream of yesteryear...........
