966 = 30 years X 1000 hours = 30,000 hours, if you don't think those kinds of hours won't put some wear in a transmission you have some awfully high expectations.

The last four 86 series tractors we sold were in the 20K to 25K hour range when 15-20 years old. I can guarentee that all of them had a little extra noise coming out of the rear end. Dad had 11K hours on his 1466 when he traded it in '80 for a 1486, he thought it had a lot of hours. He didn't know the tractors he was buying that year would end up with double the hours. The only tractors we owned that didn't see at least 800 hours a year were the 4X4s.

With only 200 hours a year you should go at least 20 years between between TAs. You're barely even getting the good out of an oil change in a year.
