Allan: There is a guy up the road from me, restoring his dad's Farmall 300. It was bought new in 1955 to acompany a smaller MH in cash croping 500 acres. The boys told their dad he should have bought a 400. Dad told the boys he bought the 300 to make money. And believe me, money he did make.

He tells me 400 was $2,200. more money than 300, and 400 diesel would have been another $1,500. on top of that. IH must have narrowed the gap after that, as I looked at a new 766 in 1975, and bought a new 1066 for $2,000. more. The 966 would have been $1,200. more than the 766.
