Mitchell: I would think a good loader that would stand up to a 1066 would be quite expensive. In my area you would never find a used one as these tractors were never fitted with loaders when new. They were seen as PTO and pulling machines. For the money you will spend on this, I would look awfully hard at an articulated loader. Even a small one would run circles around a 1066. I ran Case skidsteer loaders, and two years after I got them the IH2000 loader was taken off my 560 for good. Those little skidsteers will run circles around a 560, 656 or 756. These old Farmalls just don't have a shuttle transmission, they were clearly designed for drawbar, 3 point hitch and PTO work. Furthermore they were the best tractor ever built for that purpose. A tractor design that ended because people like you wanted front end loaders on them. I could never understand why people that wanted that large of loader didn't just buy a payloader.
