      The McCormick Harvesting Machine Company was founded by Cyrus Hall McCormick in 1847. In 1902, this firm merged with the Deering Harvester Company, along with three smaller agricultural equipment firms to form the International Harvester Company of America. The company sold its agricultural products division to Tenneco, Inc. on November 26, 1984 and in 1986 Harvester changed the corporate name to Navistar International Corporation.
