Gerald R. Forsythe, an Illinois businessman and farmer with operations near Marshall, Illinois, takes delivery of the 100,000th Case IH Magnum tractor, an MX285, from Kurt Edens, manager of Farm Pride Casey, the Case IH dealer in Casey, Illinois. Mr. Forsythe drove the tractor off the assembly at the Case IH Racine Manufacturing Operations (RMO) in Racine, Wisconsin, which assembles all Case IH MX Magnum tractors. Introduced in 1987, Case IH Magnum tractors have logged an estimated 400 million hours of operation.
