Brian, that's kinda odd..... the 886 with the German diesel....
The cabs were all the same of the 86 series, and they carried their own serial numbers. I'm wondering if perhaps it just happened to have 986 in that number?
Now the D358.... that's just odd. That was the engine for the 786. Perhaps a mistake? Very, very interesting.
On another note, I got the book "A Corporate Tragedy". Local library got it for me. Beat the high price tag. Started reading it Friday night. I'll probably finish it in the next couple days. The history of IH is fascinating. The McCormicks were in the very top of the 1%'s of their day. Incredibly wealthy. Company was too. Every die-hard IH'er should read this book. Barbara Marsh did her research.
