Yes, indeed, they did. And industrial 830's and the real oddball - the 840. That one had an offset operators position just in front of the rear wheel so a scraper could attach on top of the axle on the centerline. When I was growing up in the early 1970's, our family business was a JD dealership. My uncle had taken in an 820 industrial on trade - and never did manage to permanently sell the thing. It was the ugliest tractor I've ever seen. Paint scraped off all over and touched up with seventeen different shades of yellow. What happened with it, was that someone would bust their machine during planting and have to have it in the shop. They'd either buy or rent the 820 to get the job done. Then, it would always come back one way or the other to sit on the used lot until someone else was desperate enough to take it. My uncle used to joke that that thing was the best profit-making tractor he ever had. It was either making a profit directly, or was sitting there making some other beat-up used tractor look better than it really was, letting him get more money on a sale. The funny part it that it ran like a top for the entire 12 years it hung around the place. All we ever did was change the oil and antifreeze once in a while. That was also the machine we used in the yard to shove broken machines into the shop bays, and was the one tractor that we knew we could get running on those sub-zero winter mornings.
