The tractor in question was the 8850. The engine was a 955 V8 that ran at a leisurely 2,100 rpms. They never put a cummins in them. The tractor was replaced by the 8960 which used the 855 Cummins. We had a 8850 for a few years before going to the 8960. I can show you a pair of 8850s one with close to 10,000 hrs and the other with 6,000 hrs both with untouched engines. There are still some 8850s going around here. Not going to deny some guys had problems with that engine but problems/failures are overblown most by people who have never been around one and have no experience. Also, JD never tried a V8 in any other production tractor. The early 4 wheel tractor which was the 8010/8020 used a Detroit 6-71 not a 6V71.
