Allan: Around these parts 806 and 1206 were the first to start breaking clamps. Dealer told me he knew many of them were tight. From his point he alway felt snap on duals were the culpert, although axle duals were breaking some as well. I have never seen an 856, 966, 986 or larger Farmall that didn't have wedge locks. I think part of the problem was IH didn't stand behind it if snap on duals were used but dealers did. When I ordered my 1066, dealer considered wedge locks standard equipment, no sure but IH may have considered the same. His opinion, (the dealer) at that time is a 1256, 1456, 1066 or 1466 would make mincemeat of clamp wheels. This dealer told me he had a customer twist an axle between the wheels with axle duals. I have a feeling duals were the driving force behind wedge locks. Think about it, my 1066 ruined a set of tires in first 1000 hours. Tires had so many lumps and bulges you couldn't drive it in high gear. With duals I got between 8000 and 9000 hours out of tires. Exact same tire as originals. You put enough torque down there, somethings got to give.
