Like someone else said, the IH 66 series were their downfall. Back in the 1970's, almost everyone around here had new 66 series tractors. Now most all those guys run green. Seems like the 1466 and 1566 were the worst. 1066 didn't have enough power to tear things up like the bigger ones.
We had a M-M G900 and Oliver 1755. Later they got traded for White 2-135 and 2-110 respectively. The G900 was good, 1755 was one of the best tractors we ever owned. 2-135 was a well laid out tractor with lots of power, but had a poor engine, poor steering, broke PTO shaft, 3-speed went out, etc, etc. Dad in the end wished he would have bought a 4440 John Deere. Many around here went 10,000 plus hours trouble free. The 2-110 was a nice, reliable tractor with the Perkins engine.
