Neighbor grew up IH. Used to plow with a Farmall M. He got into a pissing match with the IH dealer and bought a 4020 the next day. He often says that the 1086 sold more 4430s and 4440s than any Deere dealer ever did. The die-hard IH guys went to see the new 1086 at the IH dealer in the morning and ordered a 4430 or 4440 (depending on what year they went to look) from the John Deere dealer in the afternoon.
Dad bought a 1086 when I was 10 years old. he bought it because it was cheap. We also had a 4430 he bought new before I was born and a 4020. No one wanted to drive the 1086. It spent all summer with the RH door removed on the blower. It pulled like mad - had a mfwd front axle. It'd outpull the 4640 he bought 4 years later all day long - mostly because of the mfwd - but no one wanted to drive it. Cab felt spacious, but it really wasn't. Getting in isn't a problem when you're 14 and fit, but what about when you're 65 and not fit? Have fun fueling it with equipment attached to it. better have your barrel out in the middle of nowhere and have your climbing shoes on. Might as well open the back window and drag the hose through the cab. Everything about that tractor felt like it was rushed into production to compete with the soundgard. The 1086 was a great engine surrounded by a terrible tractor.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
