Just to add a little here, the 184's had a couple features that set it apart from the 154/185 as well. For one, the 154/185's used a starter-generator, and the 184 returned to a bendix drive system. Also, they had an electric PTO in place of the mechanical clutch the older machines had. There may be more cool things, but those are the ones I'm aware of. Thanks for bringing up the 184, I love talking/browsing Lo-boys. I always thought it was odd that even though it was a later series, it got a lower number.
