History
The merger of McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and the Deering Harvester Company in 1902 resulted in the formation of the International Harvester (IH) of Chicago, Illinois, which over the next three quarters of a century evolved to become a diversified manufacturer of farming equipment, construction equipment, gas turbines, trucks, buses, and related components. International Harvester fell on hard times during the poor Ag economy in the early to mid-1980s and began exiting many of its business sectors in an effort to survive; in the process, it shed most of its operating divisions: Construction Equipment Division to Dresser Industries; Solar (
gas turbines) Division to
Caterpillar Inc.;
Cub Cadet (lawn and garden equipment) to
MTD Products and, lastly, the Agricultural Division to
Tenneco who merged it with their JI Case subsidiary. After the Ag sale in
1985, all that remained of IH was the Truck and Engine Divisions and the company changed its name in 1986 to Navistar International Corporation. (The International Harvester name and IH logo were assets of the Agricultural Division and consequently were part of the sale to Tenneco, Inc.; the IH name and logo are still in use being incorporated into the Case IH brand name). IH had used the
International brand in its agricultural, construction and truck product lines and the brand name continues on in product lines of Navistar International's
International Truck and Engine Corporation subsidiary.
Navistar International is notable for a serious

In January 2006, the company declared it would not file its form 10-K
annual report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on time. The delay was caused by the disagreement with its auditors, Deloitte and Touche, over complex accounting issues. In April, Navistar fired
Deloitte, its independent auditor for 98 years, and hired
KPMG to help restate earning back to 2002 in order to fix accounting errors. On December 15,
2006, Navistar executives announced further delay of its restatement and 2006 results. The announcement prompted the NYSE to announce the delisting of the company, after 98 years of trading, although the NYSE subsequently delayed the delisting pending an appeal by Navistar. However, Navistar was removed from the S&P 500 Index, and the NYSE eventually denied Navistar's appeal and delisted the stock; it now trades on the Pink Sheets.
