Ford wanted to buy it for the 6.9L and 7.3L engines and had plans for the D360. They also wanted to become more of a full line truck producer by having the IH Paystar which was used for heavy off road applications like cement trucks. The IH truck division is where things went south for a Ford involvement with IH. That was the point where government anti-trust issues would have jumped up. The fit with IH ag was pretty good but it was never made public as to if Ford or IH would have stopped making tractors with such a merger. Speculation was that IH was far enough along in 1983 when talks were had on the quiet with the 18 speed power shift that the Farmall Works would have been kept going. Talk of an IH - Ford merger died after a month or so in 1983. It was not long after that that Sperry wanted to shift gears including unloading New Holland. Out in your part of NY you had a few strong Ford Ag dealers but around here their dealers were fading so an IH merger would have helped some on the retail end.
