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 really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
