I do not know what was the first 100 HP IH. I have operated a F 5000 and I own a 986 IH that is the 100 HP range. It would be unfair to compare the two. I have an IH that is in the range of the F 5000 and in comparing those two the IH is a superior machine. In the 100 HP range, the 986 w/ cab and air is a nice machine. It does my tasks to my satisfaction. One fault I have with the machine is that when changing gears, the gears will scrape. Another fault is only minor but I find that the access steps to the cab are too small for my big feet and that is a bit awkward. The 986 tractor starts good and has plenty of power and good traction. The view to the rear hitch enables hook up without having everyone in the family present to assist. The power steering and the hydraulics function adequately and the brakes are terrific. I like the park gear as it avoids leaving the handbrake engaged when your thoughs are elsewhere. I perceive that I have good value for the investment in the machine and I do not regret making the purchase. I think your father would be pleased with a 986.
