The Black Stripe 66 series were only made in 1976. IH was getting ready to introduce the 86 series and wanted to update the 66 series to help in getting them sold. There are many 66 series that have had the black stripe added. A true black stripe will have the serial number id plate on the right rear side on the rear housing and the flywheel housing is more rounded.
