In 1847, Cyrus McCormick founded McCormick Harvesting Company in Chicago That became the International Harvester Company.

From 1850-60s, both companies steadily gained market share, as McCormick added new features to harvesters and J.I. Case expanded the power sources of threshers.

In 1876, Case produced the first self-propelled traction steam engine, which quickly replaced flattery for threshing. By 1886, J.I. Case was the world's largest manufacturer of steam engines.

In 1892, Case built a gasoline-powered tractor. However, the market had not matured and steam engines were still commonly used, so Case did not reintroduce the tractor until 1911.

In 1902, J.P. Morgan brokers combined McCormick, Deering, and three other small brands to form the International Harvester Company in Chicago.

In 1915, the company produced its first combine harvester.

In 1985, J.I. Case and Cyrus McCormick merged to create Case IH Corporation. The new company became the second-largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment. The Magnum tractors (160 HP to 240 HP) were the first all-new machines developed by Case after the merger with Universal Harvester.

In 1986, Steiger teamed up with the Case IH.

The Magnum quickly became one of the most popular tractors in the world and helped to establish Case IH as a leader in the agricultural equipment industry.
