• Nice 1066

That's usually what happens. That serial number puts it as a way late '75 or very early '76. I think those lines got a little blurry and weren't "exactly" a line drawn in the sand.

One time I bought a chopper that I know darned well had set on the dealer's lot for at least 5 years.

Was in a big toot to get the crop put up and needed it in a hurry. Dealer naturally went by the latest and updated sales price, of course. :>(

How can you guys tell what year it is without the serial number?

The only thing I see out of line is that white paint.

Allan

You are just acting naive, why would anyone bother to paint all that white plus pre black stripe badges, on a true black stripe 1066. Take notice, I did say "acting". I don't think you are that naive.

Seller says the serial # is 052984 and that the ID tag is located on the left hand side of the tractor.

That should make it a very late 1975 model, right?

Dunno,

Allan

But, I've heard that the early '76 models and the late ones had the serial number plate in totally different places too.

Just thought that perhaps this could have been an early '76 and that the white and badges had come along as part of that 'early ’76 paint scheme' or something.

Dunno, just hope this guy is being up front.

Why in the world would anyone "re-stencil' a low hour tractor like that. (If in fact, it really is a low hour tractor).

They are nice tractor though. My 1066 is in th eshop and every morning I walk by her and get on my 584 to fee round bales and say, wow, this 584 is small. I guess the bigger the toys, well, you know. Nice tractor and parts are reall easy to come buy. Just priced all the form hood gasket and all is in stock. That is nice.

Well, maybe that other post looking for a 1066 in Ohio will buy this one. I hope it goes to a good and loving home.

49 degrees in Mass, we are getting there !

All 1976 models were black striped like the picture.

Allan

Didn't even notice that. 'Spose that this tractor isn't all its cracked up to be?

Good catch,

Allan
