    Picked this Cub Cadet up today. Plan is to put a small block chevy in it and paint up like a black stripe 1066 IH, one of my dream tractors. :drool;

    Cool!
    Those international’s have such a short wheelbase. Kinda squirrely.. can’t imagine planting with it..

    Oh, I thought you were talking about the cub! Those 1066s are favorites for the tractor pullers. They can make stupid power and hold together.

    Growing up we had an 806D it was barbaric.
    Then one day I drove past a 806 with turbo and front wheel assist... that is my dream tractor.

    Gotta love the parking brake on em.
    the fact that diesel gels
    The torque amplifier is hydraulic and freewheels when the motor dies.
    The steering is hydraulic and does nothing when the motor dies.
    The brakes are hydraulic and do nothing when the motor dies.
    The pto is hydraulic and freewheels when the motor dies.
    The loader is hydraulic and can only fall when the motor dies.

    Those things are fn death traps if they gel up, you loose all control and the parking brake is useless.


    I'll never forget hauling hay in upstate NY.

    Edit: torque converter to amplifier (it was a manual)
