Buzzman: I remember one guy with a Farmall 300, got so fed up with those screws and hood vibration, that each time he installed the hood panels, he spot welded them. Removal each time was a torch job. IH could have pumped a lot more dollars into improving both IPTO and TA. Imagine 25 years later the 686 still free wheeled on low side. IPTO wasn't anything to write home about until 06 and 56 series tractors. I personally didn't mind glow plugs that much as the only diesels I had been around up until then were pup starts. However guys new to diesel at that time did not have the patience for glow plugs. The hitch again didn't affect me personally as dad had been a strong trailer plow guy. We had no mounted equipment. However I could see neighbors moving away from IH in droves over this. When your neighbors move in droves it affects the finincial well being of the dealer. Again I missed the 560 fiasco, mine being a 63. 656D gave me new hope IH was catching on, only to be douped by cavitation on the 1066. Dealer told on that 886 German diesel issue he may as well closed the door. That whole area is as green and blue as it could get today. There hasn't even been a CaseIH dealer for close to 10 years now.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
