Allan, I agree that loaders, operators, and loader work is hard on tractor too. But that is because moat farmers cannot justify the capital outlay for a industral loader to do this kind of work. And usually if you did have that type of rig, you would be in the wrong place at the wrong time when you needed it. So hence the oldest, most wor-out tractor got "sentenced" to loader work. The better farmers if the didn't want the industral rig then bought new or newer tractors for loader work for it is hard, crappy,shi#-work. and will take it toll after time. My 966s front end was in fair shape when I got it, but the loader work I have done has accelerated its demise. My relatives took a new JD 4640,PS and hung a loader on it at 500 hrs in 1988. As far as i know it is still there. My 966 had never seen a loader till I put it on it in 93. But my 966 is my main tractor. As you use her, on the shake down work you will find many little things, once these thinsd are done I'll bet she is solid. Have fun, catch ya after a while. Later, John A.
