Time before last I was tractor shopping I drove a few, around the year '06. HATE the transmission in them. Took somebody along on the last one that had been around them his whole life, he rode along during a test, he said I shifted better than he did, and the last one I drove was the best shifting he had ever been in. That pretty much settled it there, wasn't going to get one. Too used to the 1855, found a 2-105, got that instead. This time shopping last year, didn't look at any '86 series. Not many to look at, up around $15k with 8000 hrs+, I'd look at '88 series first had there been a good one. I spent a day round baling with a 1466 some time ago, not pleasant, and they are around $12k. I don't know if shift kits help or not, but pretty much everything about the driveline I didn't like compared to about every other old tractor I've been on. Clutch engagement, lever locations, etc. etc. If good shape and cheap, I'd buy one as a secondary, but that's about it, a person could get used to and put up with it, but with every other tractor I drove, both old and new, I didn't have that feeling of needing to adjust like I do with those. I know they are reliable, easy to work on, etc., it's just personal preference.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
