Like others have commented...poor management ! But....... I also think that IH was about 3 to 5 years behind from 1958 on -- when the 460 and 560 came out. It is too bad the 06 series came out in 1963, when 1960 or 1961 would have been better. But...hindsight here again ! IH still had great rugged machines though. We had better farming times too in the 1960's and more livlihoods and farms making it. And Now ? Not much like a family farm around me anymore....sad ! It seems like all big business, not just a way of life anymore ...
