Lineage line: M, Super M, 400, 450, and then 560. For the 460, it is the H, Super H, 300, 350, and then the 460. The failures of the 460 and 560 drivelines really put a black eye on IHC despite their good faith effort to effect repairs in the field.

It may be that buyers thought they had no where else to go. If the 4010s were failing, too, the IH alternative during that era was still the -60 series and their bad reputations. I need to read Fay's article.
