In 72 I was working for a guy in Marshalltown. After the heavy spring work was done he traded an 806 for a new 966. All it did that year was rake and haul hay, cultivate at half throttle and then haul grain in the fall. In the spring of 73 when we put it to work, it was using twice the oil that the old 806 had. He complained to the dealer. Their solution was to hook it up on the dyno, cover part of the radiator so it was running about 220 degrees and work the snot out of it for 24 hours. That seated the rings and it didn't use oil any more. I believe they said that they were chrome rings and had to be worked hard as soon as possible to break in correctly. Another guy we knew from the next town north had also bought a 966 and it was also a oil burner. They gave it the same treatmen and cured it. The only thing bad said about the 966 after it was broke in was we couldn't find him chopping corn in the mile long hilly fields as it didn't send a plume of black up over the hills as the 806 always had.
