Lookin' good, Allan.

Old neighbor from Nebraska said after the war, he was running a Case LA, I think- or whatever their biggest model was at the time. They'd take a 55 gallon barrel of gas to the field, and run 'til it was gone, then they were done, and went home. "We were kind of lazy, I guess- we were always home in time for supper."

Nice looking country. Just keep goin' till you hit the horizon.

Allan in NE · May 12, 2012

Yeah,

After 6 1/2 hours, it's time to get out and stretch yer legs anyway. :>)

Always enjoy the pictures. Since your such an IH fan, I'm suprised you haven't repainted those rims yet.

IaGary · May 12, 2012

There were a few major changes made from the 66 series to the 86 series.

Number 1 was the cab.

Number 2 was the fuel tanks.

They went from 45 gallons(or what ever it was) on board to 82 gallons.

The first year I went from a 966 to a 1086 was a killer. Went from a break every 6 hours to a break every 12 hours.

I still remember making a mad dash to the fuel barrel in the middle of the day. By the time the second tank was gone I was ready to call it a day.

You have a lotta ground to cover in a day there Allan. How many acres do you farm?

NEKS · May 12, 2012

That must be some nice dirt you have. Here pulling something that big you better have duals and lots and lots of power.

Big M · May 12, 2012

What's with the yeller rim on the right front?

Allan in NE · May 12, 2012

Put the wheels and tires off this tractor on my M because the new oversized tires I had bought for this tractor wouldn't clear the knees; the wheels came yellow like that.

They still go 'round and 'round tho. :>)

Allan

Allan in NE · May 12, 2012

Just the bare minimum to keep me out of the pool hall. :>)

Allan

Allan in NE · May 12, 2012

Yeah, here too.

I've got to move that disc over to the other tractor since I've got the new injection pump on and it's going again.

Just too damned lazy to put the other set of duals on (they would have to come right back off to bale hay here in a month or so anyway). :>)

Allan

Allan in NE · May 12, 2012

I want a 1486 so darned bad I can taste it, but would 'probably' yank that rear tank so's I could see the drawbar to hook and unhook. :>)

No ya don't as much as you like your 10 you need a 1466, best tractor I ever ran.

Allan in NE · May 12, 2012

Or, just find another crankshaft for my 10? :>)

DeltaRed · May 12, 2012

Hey Allen!That ole '9' must really be a fuel hog?My ole 1256 has to work real hard for 10-11 hrs to burn up a tank(42 gal).Good lookin' outfit.Steve

Billy NY · May 12, 2012

I guess you weren't foolin when you said you run em right up to the nub ! Looks similar to the last time I ran anything of this size, was 2009, I remembered your comment, that and those duals being so close, never was too sure why they set em like that, most have a space between em.

And I thought I was in the big time when the neighbor added a buggy top, and a AM-FM radio on his 830. Just so I could spend the next three weeks cultivating corn and beans.

Allan in NE · May 12, 2012

Yes Sir,

Got the disc set just as deep as it will go in the ground and she's really cuttin' nice this year.

Pullin' it in 4th at about 2200 rpm. Just can't stand to hear an engine run any faster that that. Gives me the 'willies'. :>)

Yeah, I can feel 'er slip a little when going across those combine ruts. I'm gonna get the other tractor on her, me thinks. Softer ride anyhoo. :>)

larry@stinescorner · May 12, 2012

nice! If you get a rainy day,and you get some spare time,send us a tune on the guitar, I like your music too, [ your farming is good too)

Pair-a-dice farm · May 12, 2012

I always liked pulling a 480. It's a good load for my 826 but most of the time I have the wings up. I've been looking for a good 1086 but in these parts they are hard to find. The row crop boys put a lot of hours on them

.

Allan in NE · May 12, 2012

Okay,

I'm workin' on a couple.

Allan

Allan in NE · May 12, 2012

Took me a long time to figure out how to keep 'er from ridgin' on the outside.

Those fronts throw a heck of a lot of dirt.

Allan

Pair-a-dice farm · May 12, 2012

I don't worry about the ridges too much, I always roll my grass seed in anyway.

IaGary · May 12, 2012

I got a 81 1086 with 3600 hours I might part with.

Anonymous-0 · May 12, 2012

A14 will break the crankshaft just as easily especially when the pump screws up. We know.

Anonymous-0 · May 12, 2012

I see your goin a little crooked thar...lol

Anonymous-0 · May 12, 2012

Uncle Mike had a culilmulture like that. We used to put it behind a 10 foot disk and pull it with a 706. Feathered the ground out nice.

Allen your 966 has a smaller tank then your 1066,by about 10 gal.
