St. Joseph, Champaign County, IL		6600 Deeres were a LOT more reliable than the 1460 IH we had. Could run any of the 3 6600s we had, with basic maintanence, and keep going day after day.

The 1460 we were always wondering what was going to break next. Broke a rear spindle, right where the hub mounts. Ground a lone off the camshaft due to the change IH made in the oil passages in the cylinder head. Local dealer had at least 2 others just like it at the same time as ours. Clean grain cross auger, that feeds the elevator, broke. New one had a larger diameter shaft. Rails that the feeder house chain rides on, broke. Got to weld new ones in, and replace the chain which had heavier side straps than the original.
