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.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible.
