I believe you are right. From the stuff I have read money was a problem and a big chunk of the R&D money they did have was going in construction to try and compete with CAT (another big mistake). I think the original plan was to have the 88 series come out in 76, but the only thing that made it was the cab (like you stated, the 86 is just a 66 with a new cab).

The other thing I find interesting is that IH was testing a hydro/mechanical transmission in 85. I believe it was going to be introduce in 87. I’m surprised they didn’t use this transmission in the Magnums along with the 18 speed powershift.
