Brooks: While I can see your point on some of what you said in this and post below. I can not however agree with you on the 86 series transmissions. There are a lot of people out there who would still buy 06, 56, 66 and 86 technology new if it were available. The biggest critics of these tractors back in the 70s were guys that did little more than take one for a drive at a dealers yard.

What few people realized with IH technology in engine torque, two speed power shift was all that was required. I put a lot of hours on Farmalls 300, 560D, 656D and 1066D. Sure I agree 1066 was a miserable transmission to shift. Many, many of those hours of use the 1066 was in the same range on 4 speed all day. All that tractor required was forward, reverse and TA. The tractors being built today, all makes need the 3 and 4 speed power shift, that is the price you pay for engines with less torque.

No my friend, all your company did was allow the very best draft tractor known to man, to be destroyed by salesmen trying to flog it as a loader tractor, a hauling to barn on highway tractor, etc. Those tractors were and still are king of the field work.
