Grass Roots

Est. 1834

To trace the roots of the International Harvester company, you have to go back nearly 200 years, to 1834, when inventor and Virginian Cyrus McCormick patented his design for the horse-drawn reaper. Beginning as McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, the company became a success in the world of agricultural machinery. It wasn’t until the industrialist and capitalist titan J.P. Morgan stepped in to finance a merger between McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, Deering Harvester Company, Milwaukee Harvesting Machine Co., Plano Manufacturing Co., and Warder, Bushnell, and Glessner, that International Harvester was properly established.

In 1907, the company deviated from its bailwick to start producing light trucks, beginning with their Model A “Auto Buggy.” IH would continue to make trucks for the next 70 years. Among the most popular trucks they made was the International Harvester Travelall, manufactured from the years 1953 to 1977, ultimately eclipsed by the Scout. The company also produced several vehicles for the US Navy and Marines during WWII.
