International Harvester's Farmall Plant Marks 38th Anniversary of Final Tractor Production

38 years ago today (May 14, 1985) marks the last tractor rolled off the line at International Harvester’s Farmall Plant in Rock Island, Ill.

Being a dealer extends far beyond employment. It encompasses an entire way of life, where owners invest everything they have. Dealers are the vital force behind a manufacturer's success. Prior to 1984, Harvester constructed and delivered over 5 million tractors. Each and every one of those tractors found its way into the hands of a dedicated dealer. However, the books of IH history often overlook the significant role played by these dealers.
