Hello,

I just sold my '75 IH 966. It was a real good tractor. I bought a new chore tractor with MFWD and no longer needed the 966. The '66 series tractors were very good machines, in my opinion. I was always told to look for one that had a water filter on it as the 400 series motors were prone to electralysis (sp?), or cavitation of the block. However, I am not an expert on this matter, and maybe some others can give you better insight to this. IH used the 400 series engines for a long time, so parts are readily available. The 966 and 1066 were similar in many ways. I would probably wait to find a 1066, just because of the turbocharger, and a 1066 seems get peoples attention easier when you are trying to re sell (that may not be a big deal to you). The shifting is much improved over the '06 series. My 966 was not my easiest starting tractor, in comparison with my 806. During the cold months, It stayed plugged in 24 hrs a day because I needed it on the mixer wagon. Both the 966 and 1066 are great tracotrs and should serve your needs well.

Good Luck!
