Subject: Restored IH 1466 (Several pics)


South Eastern ,ILL		Bought this 1975 IH 1466 last fall for an auger and misc. tractor. It had 3600 hrs, new clutch,TA, was a previous cab tractor and a little rough. We put new spindles,bearings,lights,batteries,alt,seat,belts,new front tire, two new
rears,new stainless steel bolts, primer and paint.We will use this tractor,but may show it a time or two. My son and employee did an excellent job. The muscle tractor era was a time I really enjoyed, never had a 1466, but always thought they were pretty
stout.

mw		I always liked the looks of a nicely restored '56 '66 or '86 series tractor, the 8 cylinder's were pretty neat looking too.
Nice work.

South Eastern ,ILL		dakotadirt...I didn't think I had the right finders either, order a new set and they were exactly like what I had, so I measured a neighbors ,and they were the same also.

I see a lot of tractor resto's on here, and wondered how and what you use to clean the engine?

Ohio		You have a nice looking tractor. Had an old farmer say that series and vintage tractor just about broke him. TA's and weak rearends. Having any tractor in the shop on something major like this can put a dampner on the bootom line. Now the reason for the failures was probably tied to the strength of that motor. An old IH guy told me once , put the IH engine in front of a JD drivetrain and you would have a bulletproof combination.

West Texas

Rebuilt the rear end on my 1086 and most of the gears and shafts came out of a 1486 at the salvage yard. All the same rear ends.

United States		You may all ready know this on those 66 and 86 series tractors you should run the H-Tran fluid over full on the dipstick about 1/4 to 3/8 inch over full that will help lube those rear end bearings better.

That is one sweet looking tractor. I love seeing those '66 series restored but thats where my love affair with them ends. I spent a lot of time on a 1566 (we still have it and use it occasionally) and all I can do is shake my head. The deeres of that era were soooo much more operator friendly.

West Central Alberta Coldest, wettest edge		1000 Moline, I don't suppose you happen to have a restored 1000 MM, and could post some pictures if you do? Good looking tractor without the cab, all of the 66's here had the ugly cabs that have a virtual hallway from the door to the seat, just ruins the appearance of the tractor.

Thanks for the picture.  That, IMHO is the best looking tractor ever built.  

Edit, what else is in your collection?
