[Farmall] What tractor is this ??

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Been a long time since I read it. I must admit some of it is boring. It goes 
into great details as a means of preserving history before it is lost for 
good. You get in depth looks into the people that actually ran the company. 
You also find out how concessions to Union contracts let Deere and 
Caterpillar squash IH many years later. There is a bit of U.S. history in 
there, taught from a tractor collectors view, not what is taught in the 
school system. It is well worth reading to be able to understand how the 
world agricultural leader managed to collapse. Other wise, you might be 
misled into thinking IH made bad products in the 1970's which in turn 
resulted in their downfall. Even if it takes you a while to translate, I 
really think you would enjoy it. Hey, if you get stuck on something, you got 
the list to post questions to!

Yes A Corporate Tragedy is a book i must read,  may be my next book is
that,   i became lazy and reading such a book in english some times is hard
task,   there are many especialized bocabulary that make mi use dictionary
constantly    and then i go too slow.

But i am curius about that book and why things went wrong with the IHC.
