Well Farmallkid, where I live there are a lot of 966-(a bunch of 1066,) 1466, 1566, 986,1086,exct.still going strong. I have drove a few 66 & 86 series and I like the 1066 to drive. Cavitation was not only in IH tractors but also in JD's with wet sleeves, cummins and I think cat motors in semi trucks.That just a down fall with wet sleeves in any brand. One thing that causes earlier problens is taking a 1066, factory 116 hp and turning them up to 140-170 hp and the extra heat in the cylinders and exhaust temp. helped premature failure. The 14 & 1566's were designed for higher hp and extra cooling just the same as compairing the 806 and 1206. I know one man that ownes a 1066,( called him last nite to make sure,)bought it in 1986 with 5500 hrs and today a little over 14000 hrs and never in the motor but it has never been turned up and good maitanence. If you want 150hp, get you a 14 or 1566. I am also guilty also of trying to make a smaller tractor do what a bigger one does by turning it up.I like to show my neighbor my 706 can do what his 7710 Ford can.
