I thought the IH 886 that brought 20,000 at the Durant sale was also worth mention.

Yes, very good point! I should have included the IHC 886 in the blog. It was a beautiful 1979 model with 6,946 hours (1,946 hours on overhaul) and sold for $20,000. That is 2nd highest auction price I’ve seen on an IHC 886 the past 20 years. Only higher price: $22,000 on 10/11/03 farm auction in Isabel, SD for an 886 with just 988 hours…but that one did sell WITH an IHC 2450 Loader, so in actuality the '79 model 886 sold yesterday for $20K on the Durant, IA farm auction is the highest selling 886 w/out a loader! Here’s a picture of it:
