IH 706 german diesel

Second question. What was the 696 ? Did it have a 656-686 type chassis or did it use the larger 706-766 type chassis ?

Third question. Did the Australian 866 and 976 use the same chassis as the American 766-966 tractors

Finally I have an advertizing sales brochure for the Australian 86 Series B tractors(dated 1981). They look identical to the American 1981 model 86 series tractors. The only differences I could see is the use of Cat 3 three point hitch for all models(good idea) and the 986 having the DT358 engine(instead of the D436). Also the Australian 786 used the D310 whereas the American 786 used the D358. How long did the Australian Series B remain in production after 1981. The American 86 series production ended in July 1981 and the 30 and 50 series were produced afterwards.

It sure is interesting looking at all the different tractors models that emanated from the original 706-806

will have to check a book here when the 86 went out we bought our 886 series B in 82 but I think 84 rings a bell, 5000 series released in 1982 5088,5288,5488 Snoopy,s were released in 1980 3388,3588

I think the last petrol powered tractors sold by IH under here was the AW6, Cost of fuel was a lot higher,
Hope I have answered all of your questions, feel free to ask
