IH man: I had one 1066 and the hours went on it at the rate of 1,200 per year. It was exactly 8 years old when the hole came in sleeves, at close to 10,000 hours. Percisely the same age as a lot of those engines did exactly the same thing, some of them with as few as 2,000 hours. My point is IH knew of this very early on, why not send out a bulliten to guys who bought them advising them of the same. At less than 10 years, most of those tractors were still in the hands of the original owners. I know full well my tractor could have gone 15,000 to first engine rebuild. My point is at roughly 8 to 10 years cavitation of sleeves occured, didn't matter how much or hard they had been worked. Don't get me wrong these were and still are a good tractor. Cliff said below his developed holes in sleeve from cavitation as well, even with the water filter, but just look at age of tractor when this occured. I can find you dozens of these tractors came new without water filters and at 8 to 10 years bingo. One heck of a heart break for the guy with only 2,000 hours on his tractor. I can tell you most of those guys today are running Deere. No fault of the tractor, it lies squarely in the lap of the boneheads at IH.
