Case IH 7100 Series Magnum Tractors Promotional Video - 1987

Will do!

My pleasure!

CDC engines.

Not quite. The new CaseIH corp. Reworked it and tested the new design. Filed a dozen or so patents on the new components. Quite an upgrade done to it after the merger.

​@@LanceStoddard IH was the best thing to happen to Case they had nothing in the early 80s that came close to IH technology and innovation the 50 series International was the base for the Magnum, IH never got the credit they deserved.

@@thomassutherland4470 Put credit where it belongs. CaseIH spent two years designing and testing the powershift. Case did have more tech in Hyd-electro shifting than IH. The engine was CDC (Case-Cummins) partnership started in 1980. Their 8.3L Turbo is a diesel engine classic. IH, Cummins, Case, CaseIH, CDC. Five different companies contributed to the Magnum.

Um...no. CDC engine, redesigned powershift. Pretty much half in half unit. Quite impressive, really.

@@LanceStoddard you are correct after doing a bit of research the engine part is true (my apologies), the transmission was going to be part of the new 88 series but it reworked by the company but everything else I said was true the frames, cab, electronics, hydraulics, etc was IH due to them having better technology (quoted from Case engineers) so it was more 25% Case and 75% IH Source: Red Tractors by Lee Klancher

@@masterchief2182 I love IH but...the new CaseIH company put together a team of both Case and IH men and spent two years on designing the powershift to upgrade the Tri-six design. Although everything fit in the old IH castings nicely, the electronics and valving were new. Assigning percentages of who did what is probably impossible. Patents from four different companies were used on the Magnum. IH, Case, CaseIH, Cummins, CDC. Opps, Five different entities! As for it being 75 percent IH, I would love to agree but...The engine was CDC, which is a big percentage of the tractor. It also took two years to design and test the trans upgrade post IH which is kind of disrespectful to the work done by those people to say it was an IH trans, when it was a CaseIH trans. I mean really, who cares? A lot of people worked very hard over many years to develop the Magnum. Thank them all.

I'd say they were building there 7000 series. Which were bulletproof aswell

Yes. The majority of this tractor was IH design. Last minute in the merger they added some Case inspired design to the cab, and added a CDC engine (Cummins 8.3)

@@curtisk84 wow! Thanks!

The cab was an ih design ih was going g to release the magnum at the farm progress show in 1985 but then the buy out happened

@@flexicoil_farm_kid I think that was a rumor that the old IH people floated to save face. The IH people never wanted to admit that Tenneco through Case, saved them and designed the Magnum

@@RJ1999x It is not a rumour because Prototypes of the International 5488 exist which have nearly exactly the same side console as the Magnum.

I will admit the equipment in my drive shed is mainly green. But the CaseIH dealer is only a half mile from my place. So I see a lot of Red rolling by 😊

I'm a mechanic at a JD dealership and farm with IH tractors.

@@bradjenkins932 I prefer working on a JD always.

@@francomtz7115 That go's without saying

@@francomtz7115 What do you blame: the magnum: less gentle levers? 7140 has a hell of an engine and a full power shift that lasts 12000H without worry. A 4955 JD, the full power could give out at 5000h. A farmer from France
