Then next year an ertl 886 and 5088 and a axial flow combine. One year for my birthday I got a ertl IH 2+2. Also in 81 dad bought a new 886 he bought me a 66 series pedal tractor. All of which I still have. The 1/16 1466 I restored the pedal tractor is on my list to do too.
Did you have problems with the plow bottoms breaking off? I also had a disc harrow with 4 wings, 3 of which broke off. Something about carpet and plastic tillage tools didn't mix! I may have the same 1586. All I know is it has a white cab and duals and a bowed out front end from being played with so much. I kept most of my farm toys inside. My Tonka construction equipment lived outdoors--there is an IH backhoe in that collection.
