I hear guys talking about 200+ hp out of a 125 Hp tractor and I just have to laugh. When its turned up that much exhaust temps go through the roof and you end up with cracked heads, burnt valves and other high heat problems (cavitation?). If your going to WORK the tractor hard, its better off operating within its designed hp rating. The problems I have seen with 1066s (and 1086s) they where turned up to match the 1466 and 1566 tractors and where over worked in the past. In the area I grew up in there where not that many 966-986 (I actually NEVER saw a "9" until I moved away) or 1066-1086 tractors around, they where seen as too light for reliable use with "full size" field equipment (24' disk, 28' field cultivators and 6-18 plows) in the ground in our area. Kind of like using a 3/4 ton to do the job of a 1 ton. If the 1066 hasn't been used as a 1466 is should be a good tractor. We had (have) 5 1466s and 2 1566s over the years in our family and have never had an issue with cavitation.

The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
