Well i haven't had alot of experience with any of those models but I would say either the farmall 966 or 986 or the Ford. hehe and I really like Olivers too but, parts availability is going ot get worse as the years go on for them as well as the Molines. I am in a Oliver 1800 now and there are some simple things that the dealers say are discontinued. Of course the 50 series is newer and might be better but it is not going have the support of either the Ford or IH in my opinion. The 1066 is a heck of a tractor, probably alot more power and fuel consumption that you will ever need. If these models are like most of the newer ones the Ford will give you better economy and still have enough power to do what you want without keeping it in a strain all the time. It will have good parts support if there is a dealer nearby as will the IH's. If you look at the Olivers the over/under shift is nice as long as it os in good working condition. If it is bad and you want it then it ia like the IH Ta, expensive to fix and just something else to go wrong. This last 1800 I bought doesn't have it and I am glad. Haha one less headache to repair:) I will agree with the man who suggested a AC 180-190. Good reliable tractors and usually reasonably priced with good parts availability as well. I Don't know alot about the MF's so I won't say

I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
