INTERNATIONAL 1466 1,565 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Since the International 1466 is the boys and I's favorite tractor, we felt this one needed saved. We have a bit of a love affair with these 1466's. Currently have five of them, and all but one are projects. This ole girl showed up at the bone yard. Checked into it a little as it looked way too whole to junk. Couldn't see anything wrong except for the fact that it appeared to have stood for several years. Was told it ran, but wouldn't move. Asked if we could see if it would run and we were told have at it. Jumper cables to the Powerstroke and tada, she was alive. No clutch release, so we could not get it into gear. Assumed the throw out bearing had gone east. Negotiated a deal and took her home. Split her apart and the throw out bearing had seized all right, and then it was run until the PP fingers were literally worn in half! New clutch, PP, bearing and good to go. Makes us feel good to save another one. Cab is coming off and fenders going on. Then we will do some farming and see if she is any good. After that a full restoration will be in order. 16 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geardoc 8 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 My hero. I am proud for you, and proud you saved that fine tractor. My life's mission is to live with integrity and without envy, hate, or greed. Finding one in a salvage yard is almost enough to trigger envy, my friend. I am quite proud of you. The 14xx series is my favorite after the 10xx. If I could have gotten that for less than $2k, I would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reichow7120 1,743 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Nice save. And you're doing the right thing and ripping that cab off. I might have liked the 1466 we had if it wasn't for the crappy cab on it ( same one as yours in the picture). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't run, but they won't sell parts off it. Said they want to sell it whole to someone who will save it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stronger800 840 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Congrats. Appears to be perfectly straight, beautiful tires......that's a 9-11k rig, (with the new clutch) here in NY. Listed for under 8 and it would be sold in an hour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

red tractor fever 724 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Nice going on that one. I always hate when the bone yard is the first option. I know we need good parts to but if all it needed was clutch parts, that would've been a shame for it to end up in the parts bins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think '73s had the white cab, but maybe the red one came out in '74. You know I thought I could always get the exact year on a 1466 just by the variations. We are finding out that there is a lot of overlap and differences over the years. Not all parts were used up in order making a tractor seem older or newer. Yes parts have been changed over 40 some years on tractors, but it is fairly easy to tell what is original on most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dont know if it is rare or odd or not but it definitely was a red cab and the story was after the slop of the fall of 72 he wanted a bigger tractor so he bought the 14.
