rsscott 127 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Don't forget to give it that traditional "preservative dip"! Great tractors, those 1066's. Link to post Share on other sites

Sledgehammer 8,008 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Nice addition. I'm sure it will look just as sharp as your other 10's when you get done. Link to post Share on other sites

billonthefarm 934 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 One of the things I really like about this tractor is that it has never had a cab on. It was born open station and still has all the correct pto linkage. All the original tin work around the engine is there. The complete original platform is in place. The fenders have all the correct mounting hardware. Its just unusual to find one here that hasnt had a cab part of its life. bill Link to post Share on other sites

Mountain Heritage 150 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Very nice!!! Bet you are going to have fun working on that one this winter, will help those cold, crappy days pass by quicker. Think it will get along with its brothers? Link to post Share on other sites
1967806 188 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Looks good. How many hours it have? What is different about the cab/non cab pto linkage? Link to post Share on other sites
Steve C. 2,522 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Looks good. How many hours it have? What is different about the cab/non cab pto linkage? Open station pto has a long L-shaped lever that you operate with your right hand. More convenient, in my opinion, since you're usually turned to the right anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff-C-IL 427 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 BTred: Are you talking about the "half hex shaped" U bolts and formed top plate that went around the axle? IIRC my dad took a pair of those off when he installed the cab on his 1066 and they are *probably* still hanging in the shed. The 1066 is now gone to a new owner. I can check if they are still there. Curious--I'd like to see pictures of the OEM PTO linkage. My memory says you had to reach BEHIND THE SEAT...which was a total pain. Or am I getting mixed up with the 806, before I made a linkage and lever to move the control up to the left side of the seat? Link to post Share on other sites

Super A 64 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 ser # 47140 Bought new here at Farmington. Belonged to Midland Coal company farm department untill they closed up in about 1994.

He used to to mow bale hay and pull a grain drill. He had a public auction today for health reasons and sold most of his equipment. Its never had a set of duals on it. Not a dent anywhere.

Alex uk 17 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Each to there own ,but a tractor that has kept that well should never be repainted. I give the panels a good cut back then polish ,wipe over the rest with some ATF . In another 20 years there will not be many left like that. I like to see tidy unrestored tractor , even an old 10-20 or something with almost no paint left . Alex. Link to post Share on other sites
smokin_1206 1 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I would have to agree with Alex 100 percent, it will only get harder to find an original tractor as time goes on. Link to post Share on other sites
