My neighbor, a quarter mile from me at our closest, was an International devotee. He had a couple of M's, a couple of H's and a next newer model IH that I can't remember the model designation. I was a John Deere two cylinder fan, but I loved to listen to his IH tractors on a cool dark evening. He confided to me that he also liked hearing my old JD's in the night air. Neither of us knew anything about the other brands. He was a bachelor and his sweet and devout Christian mother shared his home. He ordered a new 666, and didn't discuss it with his mother. On the day that it was delivered, she raised a ruckus, demanding that he send it back to the dealer. He refused and kept the tractor until his death. His mother predicted failure and destitution as a reward for buying a tractor with such a devilish numeral. That old 666 was sold to an equipment jockey not long after the neighbor's death and many years after the mother's death, but I still remember it as being a mighty fine tractor, disregarding the numeral painted on the sheet metal.
A final bit of irony - the only tractor on that farm now is a modern JD with front wheel assist and a fancy loader.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
