Hello! I am a beginning farmer, and I am looking for a large size tractor. I will be off from college this summer, and would like to restore a 100 HP+ tractor so i can use it in a couple of years when i get my own farm. I think the best value for my money would be a 1066 since i am in IH country (Central NJ), plus my father worked for IH. What are the advantages/disadvantages of a 1066? Seems to me like i can pick up one pretty cheap, theres one in the lancaster farmer with a smoking motor for 3500 if i remember right. The parts on it are considerably less than a Deere (dont mean to bash deere). Also, if i purchased one, could i put on the coleman/ellwood MFWD units on it? I know @ work we have a 1086 with a coleman unit on it, and it is pretty sweet. Alright, last question. Say i have a theoretical 400 acre farm. 100 acres each in corn,beans,wheat,and hay. Do you think that a 1066, Massey Ferguson 90, and lil tractors for haying such as a Jd A's and B's and utillity fords could farm the land while having a full time job? Thank you for your help, i greatly appreciate your advice. PS.....Just got a summer job @ farm credit so i can deal with farmers all day....sure does beat working with stuck up people @ Morgan Stanley

I had heard rumours that an old Case Model C was languishing away in the back of one of the outbuildings there. So off I went in search of what would turn out to be a very rare and unusual tractor. Mr Kendall is an excitable chap to say the least. He is amongst the last of a dying breed of farmer who
