the good, bad and ugly of a 1660 combine

I am looking at a IH 1660 with the tag reading the following numbers 1660 278 and 027178. It is coming up on an auction and I need to know what I am looking at. Any real problems with this machine? I currently have a 1460 but it has many updates including the 3 chain feeder which this 1660 does not have. The 1660 also has rear wheel assist which I really don't need. Looking for a reasonable second combine of the same style of 1460.
Pic show some rust around the tube that connects the grain auger to the grain elevator. Also wondering what it would be worth. Can't get a good read on the hours yet.
 
I have a 1660 latter model with the Cummins motor in it and just love it have ran with jd 9500 and there is no comparison between the two, knock on wood have had no major problems other than normal upkeep, as far as to what its worth I don't know.
 
If you are familiar with a 1460 there aren't a lot of big differences, but lots of little ones. Better hydraulics, better sealing in the cab, better lights, more hp, extensions on the concaves, and the like. We went from a 1460 to a 1660 a couple years ago and really like ours. As far as the RWA goes that is a definite plus in my mind, we are in hilly ground and positive steering on hillsides is nice. We won't have another combine without RWA.
