Hey Casey,

You have me at a disadvantage 'cause you are out there in the field now and I haven't been on these old tractors tuggin’ hard since they were new.

However, we are now some 30 years downstream and I think just the opposite effect is true because I remember them as "new" tractors; also, I think that a good many of 'em have been 'doctored' over the years instead of actually being turned up at the factory. I.E. My red mech, when he put the new engine in my 966 here a month or so ago, asked me how much I wanted him to turn it up. I told him none; and to just leave it alone.

Anyway, all I know is that when I had the old 966 and the 766 in the fields and doing the same identical work, if I crawled down off the 9 and onto the 766, it was like someone threw the air brakes on. The 766 was really quite anemic compared to my old 966. It was at least one gear difference.

I can't speak for the 1066s, 'cause I have never owned one. I always thought that blower would make it more susceptible to engine problems. As it turns out, the opposite is actually true because of that upper end oiling problem and the cooling effect of the higher air-flows. :>(

Dunno,

Allan
