Allan: I have a question for you and indeed everyone else involved in this thread along with a few others. What do you find so exciting about 66 series tractors? My opinion is they were ugly, and statistically not near as good of tractor as the 56 series were. I bought one new 66 series tractor and can assure you it will be the last. If I had a use, I would buy another 56 series tractor. When I farmed I had at least one new tractor from each series starting with letter series right through to 66 series.

I can take you to countless farms that through the years were IH customers and indeed still are CaseIH customers. Just to give you an example, I have a neighbor with three newer CaseIH. He still has his 856 and three letter series tractors. His two 66 series were traded off quite quickly. Another guy not far away has his 856 and Super M, but his 66 series tractors he bought new have been replaced by new Deeres. I see this all over this area, the older IH tractors are still on the farms that bought them new. I was rather curious where all the 66 series tractors went to, so started asking. Dealer told me many were trucked back to US, they love them down there. Then one day I was at a huge scrap yard just north of here. That answered a lot of my questions. Most prominant grill sticking out of pile was 66 series. Didn't see any 56 and only a couple of 06.

All this has me rather curious, why 66 is still so popular south of the border.
