• Tractors
• The first engine-powered farm tractors used
  steam and were introduced in 1868. These engines
  were built as small road locomotives, and were
  operated by one man, if the engine weighed less
  than 5 tons. They were used for general road
  haulage and in particular by the timber trade.
  The most popular steam tractor was the Garrett
  4CD.
• There are a lot of types of tractors. Here are
  all of the types that I found.
• I am going to do my power point on the CASE
  tractor.

• The case tractor has changed over the years.
  The earlier models had no cab. Todays machines
  have air-conditioning. Present models have 12
  wheels (4 wheel drive) and G.P.S. This was never
  heard of in the early years.

• The J.I. Case Corporation was founded by Jerome
  Increase Case in 1847. The company built
  threshers. Case began manufacturing steam engines
  in 1869 and introduced its first steam traction
  engine in 1878. The company was well known steam
  tractors and threshers. In 1964, Tenneco a large
  Oil and Energy company purchased J.I. Case. In
  1972, Case became the big tractor power
  specialist company when it began only producing
  tractors on the Ag side of its operations. Case
  became well known for its Traction King 4wds and
  high horse power row crop tractors. In 1985 J.I.
  Case became a full line company again, when its
  parent company merged it with International
  Harvester to form Case International.

• In 1924, IH started a revolution in tractor
  design with the introduction of the Farmall. The
  Farmall was the first tricycle style row-crop
  tractor. Farmall tractors not only plowed, but
  were capable of precision work such as
  cultivating. The Farmall name is legendary and
  associated with historic models like the M.
• IH used the Farmall name on its tractor line
  through 1974. 
• The company was always innovating new
  machinery. IH developed the revolutionary
  Cylco-Air planter and  Axial-Flow single rotor
  combine in the 1970s. The 22 and a front flow
  air cool tractor line with tri-six shifting  were
  big hits in the 1980s.

• The International Harvester Company was formed
  by the merger of the McCormick Harvesting Machine
  Company and the Deering Harvester Company on
  August 12, 1902.  In 1924, IH started a
  revolution in tractor design with the
  introduction of the Farmall. The Farmall was the
  first tricycle style row-crop tractor. Farmall
  tractors not only plowed, but were capable of
  precision work such as cultivating. The Farmall
  name is legendary and associated with historic
  models like the M.  IH used the Farmall name on
  its tractor line through 1974.  The company was
  always innovating new machinery. IH developed the
  revolutionary Cylco-Air planter and  Axial-Flow
  single rotor combine in the 1970s. The 22 and a
  front flow air cool tractor line with tri-six
  shifting  were big hits in the 1980s. 
  International Harvester fell on hard times during
  the poor Ag economy in the mid-1980's and  sold
  its agricultural division Tenneco.  The IH ag
  line merged with  J. I. Case a Tenneco company in
  1985.  The last IH tractor to roll off the
  assembly line bearing the International name was
  on May 14, 1985 with the 5488 designation.  IH's
  combines and equipment are still manufactured
  under the Case IH name.

• Case IH continues to provide products that
  satisfy farmers needs with the strong line of
  tractors. The MXM Series replaces the Maxxum line
  in 2002.  By combining superb power, performance,
  durability and comfort into each tractor, the
  innovative MXM platform enables operators to work
  more productively and more profitably. Whether a
  farm grows corn and soybeans, small grains or
  specialty crops, these tractors will help
  operators get more out of every hour. With 
  tractors from 100 to 190 horsepower, there's a
  MXM Series tractor for every farm. Superior
  maneuverability and performance make the MXM
  deluxe tractors ideal for livestock operations.
  Plus, serious power and remarkable hydraulics
  make the big MXM 145 and MXM 190 perfectly suited
  for tillage, planting and cultivating
  applications. CIH will replace the C  and CX
  series tractors with the JX and JUX line based
  from FIAT designed tractors. The current MX
  Magnum line will also be upgraded soon with more
  horse power, a new draft sensing hitch that takes
  the bumps out of field work and a new front end
  suspension system unique to the Magnum line. The
  new MX Magnum line will include the MX 210, 230,
  255 and 285. In 4 years CaseIH may introduce a
  310 to 320 hp Magnum that articulates between the
  engine and cab like the 22.

• When Tenneco began looking at IHC's
  Agricultural Group in 1984, it was because its
  J.I. Case subsidiary wanted combines, not the IH
  tractor line. J.I. Case decided to focus on
  producing high horse power tractors and dropped
  its Combine and most of its implement line. The
  last Case models produced in 1972 were the 1660
  and 1665 Corn Special.Tenneco's decision to stop
  Combine production was because their models were
  10 years behind the competitors models technology
  and RD funds could not be justified with
  potential sales of a new model. Thirteen years
  later Case returned to the combine market with
  the newly acquired Axial-Flow combine. IH
  was working on releasing an updated Axial-Flow
  series for 1986, so Case unveiled the models as
  the 1680, 1660, 1640 and 1620. In 1989 the
  models became the 1688, 1666, and 1644 with minor
  improvements that farmers were looking for in the
  popular combines.

• The Cyclo Air Planter is a drum planter with a
  seed-metering system with only three moving
  parts the seed drum, the seed cut-off brush, and
  the seed release wheel assembly. This planter
  concept allows accurate planting of irregular
  sized seeds. The Cyclo also offers a single large
  hopper that reduces fill time. In the 1980's IH
  introduced the Early Riser planters that offered
  a narrower seed trench, with more precise seed
  placement. After the 1985 merger of IH and J.I.
  Case, the Cyclo Air line survived and was updated
  to the 900 series in 1987.  For a short time in
  the late 1990's CaseIH offered a 24 row 955
  Cyclo-Air planter. The model pictured above is a
  1/64 scale CaseIH 955 Cyclo Air Planter built by
  Justin Van Westen.  It is a 24-30" planter set up
  with liquid popup fertilizer for corn planting.
  The frame and markers are all made of brass,
  which was soldered together. The markers function
  the way they should (the end goes in and out when
  the bottom is moved) and the frame raises using a
  hydraulic cylinder on the main wheel assembly. 
  In 1991 a Case International 12 row 900 Cyclo Air
  Planter was offered by Ertl as well as a 1/16 4
  row model.
