Possibility of obtaining what is believed to a 1950 rowcrop 66, it's been a field partially covered for 5 yrs, not horribly rusted but with broken PTO shaft. Looking for as much info about this tractor as possible. Horsepower, parts, where to find the serial number, etc. Tires have little to no wear front & back, but one rear tire is almost flat. It has all the fenders, side panels & grille,some surface rust but virtually undented. Block and radiator appear to have been drained at parking. Looking to bring to working order to bushog, bale hay, etc. I know very little about this model tractor. Can anybody help?

The 66 is a sweet little tractor. very fuel efficient. We use ours to pull wagons, rake hay, small jobs. If the PTO is broke that tells me that 6' mower was too much. Still get it if you got some other uses. Very easy to work on. But a 77 or 88 would make a better bush hog/baler tractor. Belive me, I got one of each.

I am pulling a 80" woods bushhog with a 66. I run full throttle in 1st gear and only stall the tractor when I get the mower down in to the ground. I run the mower close to the ground. Mow hay fields in august, pond grass 18-24" tall and cleared out an orchard that was overgrown including trees, if I could run them down the bushog would cut them up. This tractor was rebuild in 1966 and used on a farm since then until 1998, raking hay, pulling hay wagons, powering an auger, haulin manure, spreading fertizler, sowing grass seed and grinding feed. If you feel you can't pull a 5' or 6' bushhog then you need to rebuild the motor

Who wants to mow in low gear? I want to use 2nd or even 3rd if possible. There are better things to do than cut grass.

66 is nice tractor. We have one. Sounds like yours may have a hydraulic unit rather than the foot operated power lift. If you can run a 6 foot mower with it then more power to you. I would say a 5 ft would be the max. If you can get it bought right so you can resell it if not satisfied then go for it.

butch, if it's definitely a 1950 model, then it is a 66, not a 60. oliver quit makint the 60 in 1948.

i just traded my 60 for a 77. dual hydraulics, AM 3-pt hitch, live power. the upgrade is fantastic.

i was disappointed in my 60 for brush-hogging. not enough power. in high grass i was forced in to granny-low @ full throttle. on it's best day the 60 MIGHT deliver 20 HP. i think the nebraska tests showed it w/less than that, maybe 16-18. just not enough umph to do the job w/a 5-ft brush hog.

unless the 66 includes an upgrade in HP, save your money and get something else.

thanks for the information. The tractor price is very reasonable, Ionly have to haul it about 20 miles back home. I'm not certain fo the date nor do I know where to find the serial number. I do know it's a 4 cylinder and I can crank the fan by hand.Hydraulics for the lift is located under the seat just to the right. It also appears to have 2 additional ports to the pump that have plugs in them. Considering the cost, I'll probably take the trailer on overand pick it up. i also know that the current owner pulled a woods 6' bush hog (seems like a big load to me) but if I take the tractor I can have the bushhog as well.Both are just waiting for the weeds to overtake them. thanks again. anymore useful information would be helpful.
