Dan: And there are countless stories like yours across North America. I have always said IH reached perfection at 56 series. Since then it has been down hill and in my opinion the merger with Case didn't stop that. And your right it is about selling parts. There are some skeletons coming out of closet on Magniums similar to the 1066 boondoggle. I was at a CaseIH parts counter last spring, standing in line, with the water pump from my 1963 - 140. Guy next to me said,"That is an original pump. We have a little 25 hp CaseIH at farm, new in 1990 and on it's 3rd water pump." That is the goal today my friend to have that new tractor needing parts before you get it home. I can not understand how society puts up with this nonsence in cars, trucks and tractors. It is just run run run for parts and service from the day it is new, and by the time it is 5 to 7 years old the bloddy computer will not even tell you what is wrong anymore. My friend it really has not a lot to do with just your 1066. We were buying new cars, trucks and tractors in the 1960's that the dealer never saw again after the day of sale. So the industry just decided to increase the price and change to junk product at same time. And North Americans are still buying.
