Can't go wrong either way if the condition of any prospective tractor you look at is good. The 966 w/ TA will give you 16 speeds to work with versus 8 with the JD so that is one consideration if number of speeds is critical. Having driven both and closely related models the Deere will drive much nicer. Hydraulics on the 4020 are better IMO. Late 4020 is good on fuel but I think the 400 series engine in the 966 has a bit better torque and better on fuel than the Deere. As from the factory both are very good tractors. Unless a very nice '71/'72 4020 I would go with the IH but will say after 8-10 hours in the field the Deere will wear on you less. Good luck.

The objective is to have the engine and transmission slide together safely and easily until the gap between the two halves is less than 1/4", BEFORE tightening any of the bolts holding the two together. Using bolts to draw the two halves together will damage the PTO
