Good going Wiley. Thanks. My comment was short as not feeling the best. Doing better today so thought I would say good job on getting that tractor started and driving it around. Appears to run well and everything. The sheet metal just needs some fixing and TLC and that would be a decent piece of machinery. Thanks Wiley for showing that tractor to us. Hopefully you can get it turned over. Let us know. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
We had the exact same 1066 on our dairy farm growing up in Westernnew york, brings up great memories thanks guys for great videos and that white stripe IH would be 1971 to 76 😊
Great job Wiley, keep up the great work and I'll be looking forward to seeing your next adventure Gods Blessings be with you and your family always my friend
Hello Wily. I always remembered when I do the weather spotters training from the NWS that lightning strikes can occur as far as 10 miles away from a storm cell. I can remember back in the early 1980s that a teenager was killed by a lightning strike in which the sun was shining and the weather was not threatening in any way. On a brighter note; Those IH tractors were purely workhorses and really hard to beat.
The 1066 was rated at 115 PTO HP in 1972, & midway through 1973. In sept, 1973 the 1066 was rated at 125 PTO HP. The 1486 was rated at 145 PTO HP. The 1066 had a 414 ci engine, & the 1486 had a 436 ci engine.
That float as you call it Wiley that makes the oil is called the( fluggandodger float) learned that one from a guy in Birmingham a long time ago! is that hammer you used to adjust the starter a farmall brand starter 5 thousands Adjustment hammer she jumped back to life like a great tractor always does ? Have a wonderful day brother you earned it!.
Amazing, one thing I have noted in the west is that you just abandon machine and move to the next generation or level, mostly they don't have serious mechanical issues, love the video
not sure if its the same in U.S Will, but here in Scotland there was water aded to the main tyres to lower the centre of gravitey or mabye traction , mabye somebody else can add more info
