The 560 was one of many failures for IH. I had never heard that it was the main one that did them in though.
I would guess the reason you don't hear about the TD24 is production numbers. How many total TD24's were made compared to 560's and how many of them went to owners that ran them?
As to IH's death I think the 06 might have had a bigger finger partially due to the JD 4010 coming out at the same time. Stories I heard at plowing demo's had the 4010 halfway down the field before the 806 got in gear. Then there were the many many issues with the TA. TA's were a decent design in the begining then IH tried to cram more and more horsepower through it resulting in a unit that was only dependable in how often it was in the shop.
Add all this to the world passing IH by. While they did have a multi speed power shift in the works it was to little to late including the farm crisis of the 80's, it was just to much.
Yes IH had some good stuff going for it. Axial flow, DT466 etc they just didn't have what was needed to make it.

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
