I will continue the conversation here for the Farmall sign since it did come from a base of ops.

I now have spoke to two people that worked at Rusch and remember the sign, infact the second guy is the one that hauled it from Rusch equipment to a barn near Hebron, Ill about 20 years ago.

He took my number incase he remembers more, he could not recall an exact locaton.

He gave me a few names but none are panning out.

More to come
 
JEFF - Keep plugging away trying to find that sign. Just pretend you're Mike & Frank looking for a sign on American Pickers.

HARRY - One place where IH designers did immitate the BIG tractors on the CC's were the rearend & axle carrier design of the X06/X56/X66/X86 tractors and the CC's, 70/100 and beyond. Beefy hex shaped axle carriers bolted to a big heavy strong cast iron housing.
 
Dennis - I thought IH borrowed the beefy rearend and axle carriers for the 70/100 and forward, from the Cub tractor? I actually consider the rearend and axle carriers, along with the Kohler engines, the primary reason this units are still going. When the rearends on many other brands of that era fail, and on current stuff as well, the tractor is a throw away.
 
Actually, the axle carriers from the center housing on out to the reduction drop housings on a Cub & LoBoy are beefier yet than the CC's. The center housing is pretty similar.

Seems like there was a picture in a brochure, a 3/4 rear view with a CC & 706/806 side-by-side showing how much they look alike, just the 706/806 being a L-O-T larger.

Compared to the competition the CC looks a LOT beefier. And they are, that's why they never break.
 
Just got a email from the Farm Supt. of the Saint James farm in Warrenville, Illinois. The Saint James Farm is the former estate of Brooks McCormick now owned by the DuPage County Forest Preserve. Interesting story behind the ST. Jame Farm, Google it and check it they are looking for some IH equipment comming up in May.

They now have Case/IH suppling them with all their ground equipment. Here is a shot of one of their new pieces.

This just in from Joseph Smith, the dealer decal from his 1650:

Kalscheur's doesn't sell Cub Cadets any more, but they are a CaseIH Ag dealer. Only < 15" away... I've known their L&G salesman since when he was a CC tech 30 years ago.
 
My neighbor just sent this to me. Thought I would share it here.

Kraig,
That is a postcard from a McCormick-Deering booklet called something like "Farming around the World". They had photo taken from all over the world with goofy animals pulling machinery and wierd locations too.
