I miss IH so much. It was such a good brand

[@Everyonelove_Games]

IH is still around. When it split up, Tenneco bought the ag part and the rest became Navistar International. Tenneco also owned Case and merged the two into Case IH. At the time of merger, it was Case body, IH colors (which is my favorite era of IH from a design stand point). Now it's still IH colors, but modern design. Hell, in 2003, they brought back Farmall

As a teenager in the late 70's & early 80's I loved helping a neighbor running his 186 Hydro pulling a 20' Versatile swather cutting barley and wheat in the Red River Valley. I also helped a little while running his 1586 with fall/ spring tillage. The best part for me was the sweet radio. Made life great, listening to tunes, listening to baseball or football games, and planning (in my head no cell phones of course) our night out on the town.

I was 6 years old the day that my dad brought home the brand new 1979 - 1586...I was so excited that the kindergarten bus driver had to tell me to sit for 10 full seconds when I saw it down our driveway because I was about to jump out of my seat to run down the driveway to sit in the cab... I slept...many hours behind that seat on the deck.. with my dad behind the wheel... my Mom was a nurse and worked so when I got off the kindergarten bus at 11:00am it was Dad and Son time after that...

These 86 series tractors are awesome. We have a 1486 and just this year changed the original 12 gallon hydraulic pump out for a 17 gallon since the original one was worn out.

I'm not an IH fan but I will say the 1206 is a damn sharp looking tractor. The driver forward ahead of the rear axle is credited here to 1086 or 86 series. Glad to see IH did contribute something beneficial to the tractor market in it's final days.

[@lancefladeland5263]

I'm right handed, and I like the shift levers on the left side. You can run your hydraulic levers and shift at the same time.

[@66limelight]

I was 13 in 1979 when my dad bought a brand new 1086. Our very first quiet cab with ac. It was like sitting in a Cadillac. The 86 series were a vast improvement from the previous 66 series in almost every way with a few exceptions: On the 86 series the batteries were not in an easily accessible place but were secured well and out of the way. They should have made the doors open to the front for easier access to the cab. If you had to remove the starter you had to take out the floor mat in the cab and a steel plate on the floor. A special wrench to remove the starter bolts was available. The starter was very difficult to service. The TA lever had that goofy spring loaded mechanism that made it difficult to operate smoothly. On the plus side putting the muffler under the hood was genius, leaving only the stack above the hood. The hydraulic assisted clutch was awesome (I think our 1066 also had that). We're mostly JD now and I don't know why other companies don't use that. With that short wheel base it was the best tractor I've ever owned for blowing snow lol. Even with the short wheel base it was balanced very well and could lift considerably more than our 5088 without weights on either tractor. When I traded the 1086 sometime in the mid to later 90s it had over 9000 hours and hadn't had an overhaul. I think IH had a very, very good engine which was quite efficient as well. If they could have hung on another year and introduced the new Magnum series (which was IH's design) they would have made it. The Magnum was head and shoulders above every other tractor of it's time when it was introduced in about 1987??? On a side note, how many others here have noticed how much the radios and cheap @#$%ing speakers they put in the tractors today just suck?

[@MrJohndeere3720]

nice.. :) ya these tractors have there ups & downs.. thats y i had gotin a 1586 i'd like 2 get a 986 or 1086 as well.

[@interman7715]

Speaking as a guy who has spent thousands of hours on IHC tractors, the cab was guiet and roomy and didn't have that big join in the middle of the windscreen like JD. Moving the cab forward was a mistake ,very rough ride on 86 series combined with short wheel base and you couldn't see the drawbar easily. The 66 series rode smoothly and had fuel tank behind engine which also reduced engine noise and heat . JD , WHITE ,FORD, IHC ,MASSEY WERE ALL GREAT MACHINES IN THOSE DAYS ,NOT PLASTIC UGLY COMPUTERIZED JUNK LIKE NOW ,IMHO.

[@MrJohndeere3720]

they said in the vid that Moving the cab forward would give it a better ride. so its funny hearing about that. but not every1 liked it.. tractors nowadays r a joke.. the older 1's were made out of steel NOT PLASTIC. thats i want with an older ih tractor.. THATS A REAL TRACTOR!

[@interman7715]

One particular thing I liked about the 86 series was the self cleaning cab filter ,when you closed the door it would self purge, I have noticed that the caseih tractors have gone back to a filter under the cab where all the dust accumulates ,duh.I think the 86 series were good solid machines and reliable and later 88 series as well ,I drove a 5088 for some time and loved it,those Inter diesels were great .Thank you for posting these videos, kind regards.

[@MrJohndeere3720]

Thanks for the post.......fun to watch an IH promo film. We had a 1586 and 1466....night and day tractor. Overall, the 1586 was a reliable tractor. We had about 9k hours when traded in. Solid motor and transmission.

[@kyleeddy9035]

That's right Jared. I have also slept many hours on the deck behind the seat on our 1486. Grandpa had a 14 and dad and I would mow hay for hours. grandpa sold his 1486 and we missed it so much we had to buy another one. now we have one that's cranking 220 ponies and doesn't use a drop of oil.

[@wanderingman8921]

That cab forward thing only works if the wheelbase is long. Unfortunately the 86 series had too short of a wheelbase so you'd end up with back fatigue by the end of the day.

[@newhopefarm1512]

[@66limelight]

My Dad got a new 1086 in 1979. Wow, what a difference between that and the 1066 that we also had. It was a very good tractor and had over 9000 hours with no major engine work done when I traded it. The 88 series tractors were a joke and dealt the final blow to IH. If they had made the right changes then, they might have survived. Such as: Making the transmission power-shift from gears 1-6 instead of only between 1&2, 3&4 and 5&6. Opening the doors to the front, the way they're supposed to. The forward air flow should NEVER have been done. The only improvements from the 86 to 88 series were a synchronized transmission, hydraulic clutch and tilt steering wheel.

[@MrJohndeere3720]

66limelight ya they left some things out. my friend has a 986 & his son has a 1086,1566 & a 806. the doors on the 86 & the 88 series did open 2 the front just like ur car. its the 66 series cabed tractors where there doors open 2 the back. my friends 986 does not have tilt steering & it sucks 2 get in it.. thanks 4 watching :)

[@66limelight]

MrJohndeere, our definition of what is front opening and rear opening is different. Let's just say the 86 and following 88 series tractors should have had their doors open the same direction as the older 66 and the newer Magnums. We had a 5088 and IMO the only thing that was an improvement was the synchronized trans. But they should have made it a powershift from 1st to 6th gear. I think the 86 were better tractors.

[@donruggles8937]

I had a real nice looking 1486. The only trouble was it cost tens of thousands of dollars to keep it running. Engine camshaft went first two years later transmission and rear end went out. Had it all fixed by International Harvester dealer. It just costs too much to keep it running got rid of it and bought green.

[@MrJohndeere3720]

+Dairy farm boys not 2 sure, but all i no is that u get less hp on the pto then on motor itsself.

[@duanedean3256]

Dairyfarmvids Because PTO horsepower is the closest thing to engine horsepower and its easy to figure and then produce a list of what it can run and show that off. Drawbar horsepower, there is a lot of variables, tire slip, soil type and condition, flat ground, hilly ground etc... those are fuel related costs and well, let's hide that part. Although they did start to label some that way.

[@littlewazz]

I think PTO horsepower was the best measurement because some implements are very demanding on the PTO. The engine spec on a tractor doesn't mean dick when you lose through the gearing of the transmission, and if it is a 2wd or 4wd.
