I got the 1066 running again. The transmissions and rear-end from the salvage tractor seem to work pretty good. I haven't ran it much, but the only serious thing I have noticed that isn't quite right is first gear makes a little noise. All other gears are quiet. PTO works, 3 point hitch is tight and will hold up a 7' Bush Hog over-night! I even used the starter and wiring from the salvage tractor - The starter button even works!

I still have to put all the sheet metal back on, I need to decide which rops (2 post or 4 post) to use, and I have some minor parts swapping to do. Looks like I may have made a pretty good deal.

And on a more important note, Mrs-ippi and the new baby girl are doing great! As soon as we get the days and nights straight, we'll be in good shape.

Hope everyone has a happy 4th!

Mitch

glad to hear things went well- personally I like the 2 post rops appearance the best but its just my preference.Glad to here everything else is well. The day and night thing just takes a little getting used too. Happy 4th to all. Pat in Wisc.

Congradulations!!! I have to admit that I would love to bang my tractor's sheet metal back smooth, but I just don't have the knowlege. When you get it done, post some before and after photo's so we can see your pride and joy.

Bill, I haven't done any paint work yet. Just taking the best parts from two tractors and makinging one good tractor. I'm dying to clean it up and paint it, but I want to make sure it works first.
