Tractor of the week. Week 7: 1066


Recommended Posts

My 1971 1066. This was the first 1066 sold out of Hutch Equipment in 1971. The dealership had a field demonstration and a farmer south of me bought it. Many years later I bought it from him with a bad engine. I did a major overhaul and it's still running good to this day.

Gotta love the 1066. The first tractor dad let me work ground with. Thought I was tough stuff sitting on top of that tractor with duals and a full rack of weights. Wish I had a pic to share.

Screenshot_20221211-193758.thumb.png.0011c27aa769230a27969f4220e22207.pngone we just got at an auction in December needed to be overhauled. One of my brothers two we call the fatso ten it has 900/60r32 Firestone unloading on the go . The one my boy @GeorgeB230 pulled at the county fair . Second from the bottom one is a 72 1066 we bought new with me in the seat about 2 years old in the picture, (I was born in 72 also) . I remember it having a year round or hiniker cab when I remember it. Traded it in 87 for a new MFD 8050 pumpkin. Bottom one is in our sale in March. I'll have to get more pictures as we have a hydro, high crop and one more row crop

We are debating on fixing it as a high crop or swapping out the axles and putting a narrow front on it. We will get it to run before deciding on what to do.....

What’s the story with the platform on the front with the chrome tank?

Some sort of “farm stock” puller most likely. Was at RPRU in Ohio last summer.

I would keep as a high crop. Don't see to many like that

That is a great shade of IH red. Some are more orange and others are almost fuscia. This one looks right. IMHO anyway.
