Dan: Prior to the 84 series tractors, at least here in Canada we got a 74 series, quite similar to the 84 series tractors except not as many models. I have a 1975 Canadian IH buyers guide, and it shows 574 and 674. If you look at the specs on these two tractors they are basically 584 and 684 respectively. Sheet metal about the only thing different.

Back in 1975 IH were moving to replace US built Farmalls with these German built tractors in the line up. I just wonder if there were also 774 and 874, not officially brought to North America by IH. That being the case, good chance most parts for 784 and 884 will fit. Good chance 874 and 884 are the same tractor.

There were times in the past 40 years where it paid European Immigrants handsomly to import their tractors when they immigrated to Canada. I expect the same was true of European immigrants going to US. It all depended the value of currencies at time of immigration. A few booboos were made, some brought models never officially imported by the manufacturer. Most dealers accomodated these guys quite quickly. They figured if the guy had enough net worth to move family and farm equipment across the puddle, he wasn't a potential customer to ignor.
