jimhug, As Allen an most of the other have said , And I will echo too!!! KEEP Your 966! That OH shoule be done in the 3 to 4 range! also more importantly is you have had it for 7 yrs allready you know it, the trans and rear end is sound and solid!!! that 656 may very well be another ticking time bomb, Talk to Allen, Tractor Vet,who have been down this road earlier than you. Allen took an old 966 that had been stored away in a barn for many yrs and took his back to better than new condition. I have had my 966 since about spring of 92, about 8 yrs ago... My TA crapped out and needed replacing also did a new clutch,PP,and throw-out too, had a major leak on lower Rockshaft seals they too were replaced The major bonus to this work was the shop guys were able to inspect my tractor entire rear end, trans and compoents. No broken teeth on any gears, all bearing were visually inspected and everything look like the day it was put together. Bottom line is my tractor rear end is solid as I will bet yours is too or you would have mentioned above. For you, a in frame and you are good to go, The only draw back is all the little annoying things you will want to fix since the tractor is already in the shop now. Front end parts, front pivot bushings, tie rod ends, new seat, those torsion rubber things, Paint,,Paint? I wouldn't trade my 966 for a lesser tractor. My thoughts. Hope this helps! Later, John A.

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
