I haven't worked on a IH diesel since before I joined the AF back in 85. But the last 966 I worked on had wet sleeves. Before I took it in for that $6K overhaul or trade if for a 656 I would pull that oil cooler off and check or have it checked out. If it's the O-Rings on the sleeves, that wouldn't be too big of a job.
To check out the O-Rings/Sleeves to ensure they are good, drop the oil pan, clean it the best you can and look for coolant drips/leaks. By pressurizing it would also be a good way to check it, but usually can/will see the leaking by just letting it sit.
This isn't going to get your tractor fixed and back on the job quickly, but could keep you from spending more than you want.
Personally; I would try to get the 966 fixed up before trading it off for just a bit more than salvage. Especially for a 656. You have a lot more and lot better tractor and know the history of it.
