The CaseIH 8840 was identical to the Hesston 8400 and was built in the Hesston, KS factory. During this time the facility was called Hay & Forage Industries and was a 50/50 joint venture entity owned by CaseIH and AGCO together. They were good machines with the Cummins 4BT engine and Vickers hydrostats. The same basic hydro units carried over to the next models which were built until around 2004 so parts availability should be decent.

They could be had with either rubber-on-steel or steel-on-steel intermeshing conditioner rolls, the latter being the more durable of the two options.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
