Baylee: BULLFEATHERS, My 1066 hit the 10,000 hour mark by the time it was 8 years old, actually not quite 8 years by the calandar. It required an engine rebuild at that time, nothing more. Since coming to YT some 5 years ago, I can't begin to count the numbers of 966, 1066, 1466, etc. I've seen requiring major rebuilds at less then 5,000 hours and they are now 30 years old. And by major rebuilds these guys are now talking engine, TA, transmission and rear end plus hydraulics. Who had the most economical horsepower? Sure you can find a good looking 966 or 1066, but a drive around someone's yard will not pick out all the things wrong.

Just look at Allan, he had a 966 new 30 years ago, and he bought a 30 year old 966 just last year. I think he is just about as qualified as anyone to spot something wrong on the drive around. I have no question with his credentials on that one. However, just look at the items he's found wrong with that 30 year old 966 since he started working it.

Even my lowly little Super A, probably one of the top ten Super As mechanically across North America, and it has always been that way. Up until 5 years ago it was used commercially. It doesn't have an hour meter but can't remember a year it didn't get enough use to burn 500 IMP gallons of gas. Now it burns about 30 gallons per year mowing my grass, and I fix just as many items every year as I did back 10 years ago. Are you trying to tell me the annual parts for my SA will cost as much as a 966?
