DidierF ◊ 2015-11-04 22:20	It's probably a FU-265 D made in France, à St-Dizier. (When I posted the movie, I was not very good at correcting the "interlacing" or something I stumbled on, once in a while. Fortunately, now, I'm… not very good at it.) -- Last edit: 2015-11-04 22:21:31
DidierF ◊ 2015-11-04 22:23	(And I'm surprised to see we have only 15 entries for McCormick.)

The McCormick-Deering tractors were renamed to just McCormick, which continued in Europe. In the USA, the tractors were later renamed International. International Harvester sold off the Ag division in 1985 and later renamed the company. The Agricultural devision being bought by Tenneco, parent to J.I.Case, thus combining them to form Case IH tractor division and Case CE division for construction plant. Case IH then decided to merge with Fiat's New Holland subsidiary to form CNH. This lead to the competition authorities in several countries ruling that for the merger to proceed they had to sell some production capacity in certain markets. The result was the Versatile factories in in Canada building high horse power machines were sold as the Steiger brand was retained. And in Europe the former International Harvester factory at Doncaster was sold along with some of the Case IH models built there and re branded as McCormick Tractors International Ltd owned by ARGO SpA of Italy, parent company of Landini. -- Last edit: 2015-11-04 22:28:59
