My neighbor, a quarter mile from me at our closest, was an International devotee. He had a couple of M's, a couple of H's and a next newer model IH that I can't remember the model designation. I was a John Deere two cylinder fan, but I loved to listen to his IH tractors on a cool dark evening. He confided to me that he also liked hearing my old JD's in the night air. Neither of us knew anything about the other brands. He was a bachelor and his sweet and devout Christian mother shared his home. He ordered a new 666, and didn't discuss it with his mother. On the day that it was delivered, she raised a ruckus, demanding that he send it back to the dealer. He refused and kept the tractor until his death. His mother predicted failure and destitution as a reward for buying a tractor with such a devilish numeral. That old 666 was sold to an equipment jockey not long after the neighbor's death and many years after the mother's death, but I still remember it as being a mighty fine tractor, disregarding the numeral painted on the sheet metal.
A final bit of irony - the only tractor on that farm now is a modern JD with front wheel assist and a fancy loader.
