Allan: Normally we think of mechanical problems not healing, however I think your asumptions of rust on gears has some merrit. Tractors that are parked for extended periods have 80% or more of transmission and rear end working parts not submerged in oil. It only stands to reason condensation and rust will be a factor. Take for example this Farmall 140 I have, parked in a heated warehouse for 10+ years. When I got the tractor the transmission driven pto would not engage. Today after 2 years of use it works fine, and the solution was nothing more than patience. 30 years ago I bought a 300 rear chassis, mainly to get an axle and some transmission parts. When I opened it up to harvest my parts, I thought I had wasted the few dollars I'd paid for this mass of internal rust. I cleaned it up and used the axle and complete top shaft in my 300. It was quiet and certainly much better than listening the the click of broken teeth and seeing that axle with close to a 1/4 twist in it. By the way, I know this 300 is still going, and probably has seen 10,000 hours since that part replacment. I think patience is the order of the day when it comes to parked for awhile old iron. I do have one reservation with this statment, I don't think your 966 rear end and transmission are engineered as heavy in relation to the horse power as for example my 140, 300 or Mike's H.
