Migraine,

I'm really the wrong guy to ask on this one. Because, I'm flat out biased!

The 966 is not near the tractor that your 1466 was because the 14 has a 50% bigger engine, although the 966 too, will just plain work itself to death. The hydraulic T/As are a pretty tough breed all in all and don’t give a lot of trouble.

Ask him about the hydraulics tho, IH liked to use a steel gear against an aluminum body on their pumps. They just wear out in time. They have two pumps, the forward one handles the power steering, brakes and the hydraulic clutches; the rear pump takes care of the remotes and the hitch.

That "instant start" is a good sign too. On these 22:1 compression tractors, if they don't start immediately, something is very, very wrong.

If it were I, I would be hooked up to the trailer already at a cost of only $4K, but like I say, I'm totally biased towards the 9s.

Hope ya get it, ifn’ ya want ‘er,

Allan
