Hugh, My former employer bought a 784 in I believe 1979, I think it was sent from England on a rowboat, took several months to get it, I agree with the German engine. At the time I wrote up specs for a competing JD, one spec was for 38 inch rears (the 784 used 36's). The dealer my boss dealt with said it could be equipped with 38's, so it turned out red instead of green. The larger tires messed up the ground speeds, perhaps in part leading us to finally get rid of it to the lowest bidder. Seems this was about the time of the US IH strike -- don't know what that had to do with it. Other than ours, I have never heard anything bad about the 84 series, but for whatever reason, the one we got was a lemon--thought they all were that way until I started reading this forum.
