west central Iowa | I've been riding around in a 1486 for almost 30 years and still getting along good. I don't know how many hours it has on it, but its quite a few. Had a clutch and ta 15 years ago, an overhaul 5 years ago and another clutch this year. It's not the best ride but I put a good used seat and undercarriage a couple years ago that was high priced outfit originally and it's a lot better. I don't especially like the backwards doors, but to me it's not any worse than getting in and out of a 4440 that only has one door and the visibility is a lot better with the ih. A jd guy and I were talking one time and I asked him with the exception of the backwards doors which cab was more like a new jd a 1486 or a 4440. He had to admit the 1486 was more like the new jd than the 4440. The ih is probably easier on fuel too. | |
