Allan: If I dig a bit I guess likely I could find that serial number. However in dscussion with numerous 1066 owners, this 160 hp was not uncommon. I fact we had a discussion here at YT about 3 years ago, and a good number of new 1066 buyers experienced the very same. I loaned my tractor to a neighbor at about 8,000 hours. His new Deere 4630 had a fire and burned wires under dash. When he returned it I asked how it worked for him. His reply, " It makes that damn Deere look sick." He was running forage harvester in haylage. This guy was a dyed in the wool Deere man. Later in life he had to have a pacemaker, which he did not get on well with. One day in conversation with Deere dealer a friend suggested Deere should start manufacturing pace makers as it was only way G. could survive.

I sat down with IH dealer and we speced that 1066 out piece by piece. I have a copy of 1975 IH Canadian buyers guide right in front of me, and it lists both 1066 and 1466 as Cat II or Cat III hitch. It lists 1566 as Cat III and Hydro 100, 966 and 766 as Cat II. I have never seen a 1066 with Cat II hitch. The dealers here brough them all in with Cat III. One item you should remember, US and Canadian Buyers Guides were different as was standard equipment. I had a farmer relative in New England back those days and we often compared those guides.

And no my 1066 did not have a high back seat, however here in Canada that was an option on all of them even the 666. Now if your not satisfied I think I can find that serial number, not certain but think I still have a list of my equipment.
