Indydirtfarmer, Yes those were sure great driving tractors.
I farmed a lot with a good friend who had a 1086 IH, one day we were working ground together and he wanted to trade tractors for a while so came lunch time, we both pulled to the gate where the truck was he got out with a huge smile on his face and said lets go eat, I said where do you want to go eat, he said over at Strafford (where the JD dealer is) so we went to the Dairy Queen and after lunch he said go by the JD dealer lets see what he has on his lot, of course he always had a few 4040, 4240 and 4440 siting out front and my friend said he wanted to go in and pick-up some liturature on the the tractors he came back out and said "boy are they proud of those green tractors".
Well about 3:30 the JD dealer pulled up to the field in his truck and visited with my friend for about 20 minutes and left.
At the end of the day I asked him what the dealer wanted and he answered "he wants to sell me one of those over priced green tractors"
To make a long story short the next morning a brand new 4440 arived and off went the 1086 on the truck.
I said I thought you were a dyed in the wool red man, he said I was till I drove your 4440 for a half a day, I said I knew I was a green man after driving your 1086.
