It appears the later 886's did have a D358 engine in them. The earlier ones had a D360. Atleast that what it says on this website. I couldn't remember off the top of my head so I had to look it up.

Yes the late 886 had a 358 German diesel reason being IH was using all the 360 engines in trucks and got the 358 brought in from nuess Germany. And yes it was a 986 cab. Towards the end of the 86 series IH had so few cabs they were grabbing cabs assembling them with whatever Fans they had. The cab serial tag states the model of tractor it was to be put on. Our 1486 had 1486 on it and the 886 with with the 360 had 886 on it. Then our late 886 with the 358 had 986 on it. I've read about this in one of the IH books and it's been talked about over on the redpower forum. The 886 wasn't the only 86 series like this, sure there are more out there.

Here is a Wiki article that gives insight on the recent history of the company, what led to the big strike and the aftermath.

I believe this article is at least generally accurate and is what I recall happened during this period.

You will note, Caterpillar and John Deere, operating under the same outside influences survive to this day. IH did not!

You can draw your own conclusions about why the ceiling suddenly fell in. I have mine.

that was good reading, thanks for posting....i shouldnt say what i want too, but between corporate greed and egotistical ceo d%&kh%#ds, and 6th grade dropout union dips#$ts turning the same bolt everyday and thinking theyre worth 100k a year, just amazes me the course things have been on for awhile now.....but on the bright side; wouldnt it be crazy (or just plain fun to think about) if navistar international eventually bought back the ag part?? Or the cub cadet part (could it be worse than mtd??) almost would be cool if they got the whole j.i case and IH and split them and made them both again...??

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
