Packing section, International Harvester tractor factory, Doncaster, South Yorkshire 1966. Partly assembled tractors being packed for export. International Harvester operated a plant on Wheatley Hall Road from 1930 and the Doncaster plant helped shape the company into a world renowned brand. In 1985 International sold its agricultural division to Tenneco, who then merged with Case. Tractor production continued at the site until 2007 when the factory closed and production was moved to Italy by its new owners, ARGO spa, and 77 years of tractor production in Doncaster came to an end.
