The Case Corporation is a manufacturer of construction equipment and agricultural equipment. Established by Jerome Increase Case as J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company , operated under that name for most of the century. The other 66 years are J. I. Case Company , and are often called only Cases . At the end of the 19th century, Case was one of the largest builders of steam engines in America, producing self-propelled portable engines, traction machines, and steam tractors. It is a major producer of threshing machines and other harvesting equipment, the Company also produces various machines for the US military (combat engineer equipment for USMC, complete tractor and spoon loader for US Army, etc.). In the 20th century, Case was among the 10 largest agricultural tractor builders for years. In the 1950s, the line of construction equipment became the main focus, with a second agricultural business.
Company and corporate brand cases changed repeatedly in the 1980s and 1990s. When her parent, Tenneco, purchased the Harvester International agricultural equipment division and merged it into Case, J. I. Case Company continued, but started using the Case IH brand. In the 1990s it was renamed several times (every name including "Case") before the merger to CNH Global ended its history as a different entity. Various CNH brands continue to use the name Case, such as CE Case and Case IH.

Detail nama
Founded by Jerome I. Case in 1842 as J. Thema Case Threshing Machine Company, the company operated under that name for almost a century, until 1928. In some of its ads the name was named J. I. Case T. M. Co. for short. Another business founded by Jerome I. Case, J. I. Case Plow Works, is an independent business. When the Plow Works were purchased by Massey-Harris in 1928, the latter sold the rights to the JI Case Threshing Machine Company, which rejoined the JI Case Company, which belonged to a majority by Tenneco in 1967 and a wholly owned subsidiary in 1970, often called by the simple brand name Case .
In 1984 Tenneco purchased the Harvester International Agricultural Equipments division and incorporated it into Case, and the brands of agricultural equipment were combined as Case IH, although the company remains legally a JI Case Company that continued until 1994, when Tenneco divested it as Case Equipment Corporation . Case Tools become Case Corporation and then Case LLC .
In 1999, Case LLC joined New Holland Agriculture to form CNH Global, a division of the Fiat Group, which has since been recycled into a majority company owned by Fiat Industrial. Case Case comes in two CNH brands: Case CE (from "Construction Equipment"), which is the third largest construction equipment brand in the world, and Case IH, which is the second largest agricultural equipment brand in the world.

History
Founder
Jerome Increase Case (1819-1891) was born to a farming family of Williamstown, New York. As a child, Case read about a machine that can cut wheat without people needing to use their hands. He developed an interest in agriculture at the time.
The case took a small hand-held threshing machine to Wisconsin in 1842, where it refined the design and founded the company to produce it. In 1843, Case moved to Racine, Wisconsin, to gain better access to hydropower, and unlocked Racine Thresher Machine Works. In 1863, Case partnered with three employees, Massena Erskine, Robert Baker, and Stephen Bull. Cases are also involved in politics and horse racing. Over time, the company grew. Competition
in the agricultural business
J. I. Case introduced the eagle logo for the first time in 1865 based on Abe Tua, Wisconsin Civil War mascot. The case built the first portable steam engine in 1869, a machine used to power wheat grain. This machine is located at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. Case won first place at the Paris Exhibition 1878 in France for his seizure; this is the first thresher to be shipped abroad by the Case company and is the first of thousands to be exported internationally. It was at this point that Case invented his first self-propelled traction machine, with a propulsion mechanism on one of his portable machines.
Meanwhile, in 1871, the Great Chicago Fire destroyed the McCormick factory. Despite Case's offer to help McCormick with their machine-making, McCormick Company rejected the offer and a new facility, called McCormick Works was built, in southwest Chicago. The McCormick Company introduced the first of many yarn fastening machines in 1881, leading to the so-called "Harvester Wars" which gained the attention of the agricultural industry during the 1880s.
In 1884, Case made a visit to a farm named after him in Minnesota after receiving news that one of his threshing machines was not working. Angered by the fact that he could not repair the machine himself, he burned it the next day, and sent the owner a new threshing machine after returning to Wisconsin.
In 1890, the Case Company expanded to South America, opening a factory in Argentina. In 1891, the company's founder died. At the moment Case's company produces a portable steam engine to power a threshing machine, and then into the steam traction engine business. At the beginning of the 20th century, Case was North America's most productive engine builder: ranging from 9 small HPs to standard 15, 25, 30, 40, 50, 65 HP and up to 75 HP hijacking and 80 sizes. The casing also makes a large 110 HP shredder with its famous two-story cabin. Nine large 150 HP transport engines are made, in addition to steam rollers. Case machines are noted for the use of Woolf valve fixtures, bait water heaters and an iconic "hawk" smoke cover.
In 1902, five large American agricultural manufacturing companies decided that consolidation was needed, so the McCormick Harvesting Company, Deering Harvester Company, Plano Manufacturing Company, and two others merged their companies, renamed the new corporate conglomerate as the International Harvester Company, which became one industry giant.
Internal combustion truck
In 1895, the Case Company started producing gasoline engines. In 1899, the Case Company entered the Russian market.
In 1904, Case introduced the first all-steel threshing machine. The case sold their first petrol tractor that year, and built a sustained presence in much of Europe when the company won first place in a plowing contest held in the so-called "old continent". The case currently develops a vast product line: thresher, fastener, grader, water tank, plow, train, and even car.
The appearance of an oil machine at the beginning of the 20th century, gave the impression of a change in the horizon. From Froelich's first tractor to Hart-Parr's products, the oil tractor seems to be the way forward. Case hired Joe Jagersberger, and he tested the motor with a race at Indianapolis 500 in 1911. The case began producing 30-60 oil engines in 1912. The case also produces a kerosene tractor in adolescence, similar to Rumely's retractable oil. During World War I, Case's sales and demand grew dramatically in Europe. This increase is directly connected with war; because many farm workers become soldiers, every remaining farmer needs to be more productive, and the machine is the way to make it happen.
In 1919, the John Deere Company entered the reaper business, and the International Harvester's answer to their new competition was to buy P & Canton, Illinois, and the Chattanooga Plowing company in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Henry Ford also entered the tractor business with his Fordson Tractor produced at the Rouge River's large factory. The economic downturn during the early 1920s reduced the sale of tractors; price cuts to stimulate demand trigger a price war in the tractor industry (called a tractor war). Ford, with huge profits in manufacturing capacity and distribution, is at the top of the wind, generating about 73 percent of all American tractors, with IHC being in second place away at nine percent, and several other companies sharing the remaining percentages. In 1923, IHC Farmall entered the agricultural industry, and Ford's grasp began to slip. That same year, the 100,000 threshing machine produced by Case came out of the assembly line, marking an important milestone for Case's company.
In 1927, J. I. Case Company stopped building its legendary steam engine. The steam engine case, which is over 30,000 produced, is painted black with a green machine, while the gas tractor is painted gray. In 1939, Case changed his color scheme to Flambeau Red, with a reddish yellow excavator. In 1929, the Case has been extended to Australia, Mexico, Sweden, and other countries. Also that year, Case Company J. I. produced its first crawler tractor. Tractors S and V were introduced in 1940.
Car production
Cases produced by Case during the period 1911-1925/1927 include: Jay-Eye-See Brougham Case (named for Case horse) and Case Touring-Y.
Working in the Second World War
Cases evolved when World War II arrived, engaged in the manufacture of shells for the United States and military allied forces, as well as aircraft parts for B-26s, bombs, and doors for Sherman Tank. Three new factories opened throughout the United States during the year, and, in 1942, the company produced its first merger. That same year, Case released the company's first cotton picker, which is presently preserved by the Smithsonian community. The 440-day strike in Wisconsin from Case's factory weakened the company.
Over the next 31 years, the company is experiencing globalization, becoming a well known company in the agricultural markets of Australia, Japan, and other places. Many other companies joined Case during this period.
Modern merge
In 1957, Case bought American Tractor Corporation (ATC). ATC was founded in 1950 and is a small crawler tractor manufacturer. Their dozer production (marketed as Terradozers) and integrated backhoe development are very interesting for Case. The case of dropping the ATC name in 1959 only retained the Terratrac name for the train drive. This led to a hybrid tractor being launched from the Burlington Plant in 1957. This model, 320 King of Construction, would become synonymous in the United States under the name of a backhoe loader. Since then Case has released other models such as the T-Series which includes 580T, 580ST, 590ST and 695ST. In 1998, the jury awarded a construction worker over $ 17 million in damages after a defect in a 580 backhoe design caused him to be crushed and paralyzed from the waist down while operating the machine.
In 1961, Case Corporation entered into an agreement with RyCSA and MetalÃÆ'ºrgica Tandil (in Buenos Aires), to create a Case tractor and agricultural equipment under license in Argentina. The built models are 830 and 831, made up to 1964 when RyCSA is closed.
1964 brings the acquisition of Colt Garden Tractors. This is the first garden tractor powered by "Hy-Drive", a hydraulic propulsion form that allows a variety of heavy duty attachments and eliminates the need for a transaxle belt. Kernland County Land Company, uses oil money, buys Case Company. In turn Kern County sells Case to Tenneco Company of Texas.
In 1972, Case bought British tractor builder David Brown Ltd. Currently, Case is repositioned as a construction business, with the expansion of the construction arm and repositioning companies away from agricultural machinery. American farms began to slide into collapse due to low interest rates and prices.
In 1974, the case was acquired by most French construction equipment company, Poclain.
In 1983, during the purchase of Harvester International assets, Case sold his garden tractor division to Ingersoll Power Equipment. The Ingersoll tractor will continue to carry the brand name Case until 1987.
In 1984, Case parent Tenneco purchased the selected assets from the Harvester International agriculture division and merged it with J. I. Case. All agricultural products are labeled first Case International and then Case IH. They use the 94 Series CASE Utility, two and four wheel drive for the first CaseIH joint tractor as a company. But the first tractor of REAL Case IH is Magnum. Introduced in 1985 the Magnum began production and 94 series of lines were dropped.
When Case IH bought Steiger in 1986 they also went on Steiger's branding, and still do it today.
In 1996 austrian tractor builder Steyr Tractor was bought.
The Case Corporation joins New Holland N.V. to become CNH, now CNH Global, in November 1999. Because of the merger, CNH was forced to release its production plant in Doncaster, England and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The Doncaster site was purchased by the ARGO group, owner of the Landini tractor builder, and brought back the McCormick brand. The factory in Winnipeg was taken over by the Buhler family to start the Buhler Tractors.
In Europe, the merger with New Holland (including the former Fordson and Fiat tractor lines) is the expected Case IH success. In 2006, Case IH came up with a plan to restore the "International" nuance to their products. They brought back the old International Harvester logo, and made a more technical difference between the two brands. Montgomery Design International refines the industrial design and styling of MAGNUM and some new Case IH products and New Holland's "Cat's Eye" styling on all New Holland tractors and revised Steyr tractor styling. This styling theme continues to this day.
