I agree with what you are saying hugh basically a efficent reliable transmission coupled with a strong power plant made for a good tractor. On the other hand I cant imagine you never saw one of those IH tractors tore apart for a rearend job untill 1985. How about a t/a or clutch?? That's behind the motor. In the 80's our local IH dealer made a living keeping those 66-86 tractors running. It wasnt like anybody was doing it twice a year just with alot of hard use at power levels they werent intended for seem to cause failures. T/A clutch and rear ends just didnt last forever in those tractors. I doubt they had a failure rate that is higher than anyone else did but they did fail. As far as todays tractors, very simply they are FAR better than the tractors you are comparing them to. As with anything they will have trouble but it is pretty uncommon to have any sort of major breakdown. Those 06-86 series tractors are very good tractors but they, like all machines, breakdown and compared to new tractors, the differene in reliablity and productivity is quite amazing. eric
