stronger800 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 What half? I see the pan, and the manifolds are on the head, I think. what are the brackets under the axle and cab brackets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandhiller Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Wish you good luck getting her running. A 966 was my first big tractor (still use it) The horsepower to weight ratio with duals works very well on our soft hay meadows. It has been very good to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as what the 06, 56 standard treads came with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks. I thought that drawbar support that’s in there was considered the heavy one? Set ups like those parts there, pretty much don’t exist here in the east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set ups like those parts there, pretty much don’t exist here in the east. The mounts are for the wide swinging drawbar like wheatland/standard tractors would often have. It looks like it does have the late 86 heavy support but it's hard to tell from that angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, there's been a penny on the sidewalk outside the back door of my parents' house for months. I'm afraid to pick it up because I don't know which side is supposed to be up for good luck and as soon as it's out of sight, it's out of mind, so I don't remember to look when I get near a computer. 966 is on my short list of favorite tractors. I would buy one right now if the right deal presented itself. No TA, one remote would be perfectly fine with me. It'd be getting a 2350 loader.

Pulled a 5-16 Oliver plow most of its life, even pulled the front wheels 4' off of the ground plowing frozen headlands before, never even lagged the engine. Ours is a rock star, starts faster than all of our tractors, no ether even at -28, lugs great and easy on fuel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Deere engines are the same as most other mfg. about .5 compression ratio higher. If I remember JD 466 non turbo were 16.2 and turbo vs is around 15.6 or there. I know Ihc was the same.
