I'm with ya, I have been to the school of hard knocks on everything, snowmobile, ATV, my first truck, my "Free" M, and now a free 1066 and 1466. I do have a guy that has a shop and buys 10's and 14's from all over the country, refreshes them and then sells them and I'm sure he would do the work for less than the dealer with the same knowledge base or maybe even a little more. I wanted the CaseIH prices just as a worst case idea. I have zero intention of putting $19,000 into these tractors. Maybe $10,000 into one over the course of a few years, the 4x4 would be cool to have because no one around here has them but the 1466 is the one I want to refresh first, it has a cab (ac/heat/radio) and loader, great tires, with a rebuilt starter it would start just fine and like I said, i'm not plowing with it so a weaker motor isn't going to effect anything as a chore/loader tractor I don't think. The 4x4 would be cool but if there are trans seals or rear end seals going which could lead to bearing issues and rear end work it's probably not worth it, maybe i'll sell it to finance the 1466.
Do I need to crack this tractor open to find the problems or can I diagnose these leaks from the outside by finding where the leak is coming from? For instance, is there a way to look at the clutch to see where the oil is coming from? This is my first big tractor, far cry from the M !! ~Anthony
