Hal: Sounds like an exciting guy to travel with. Also sounds a bit like a former neighbor I had. It had been a terrible dry summer, it was raining all around us, sonetimes coming within a mile. I had driven through rain, thus knew about it. My neighbor who never left home that week, claimed he smelled the rain.

One other thing, all 766 and some of the first 886 had the 360 American IH engine. I've operated both, the 360 has a lot more torque. Where I lived in Nova Scotia, IH dealer sold about 15 766 and 4 886 with 360 to 50 cow dairy farmers for forage harvester work. Those 4 sold about 25 more 886, except the later 25 had the 358 engine. It was the last straw for his business. There is no CaseIH dealer there today, hasn't been since mid 90s. Deere came on there in the early 80s and never looked back, he'd take those 886 on trade, and 24 hours later they were in upstate NY. By the time he was done the IH dealer didn't even have a parts business left.
