[Farmall] Help with info on 1066 Black Stripe

[lmfree at ptd.net]

The tractor is from a local farm and the hours are low.  The seller is 
selling it for more horse power. The tractor is one owner and has been on 
this farm since purchased new from Erb and Henry IH dealership here in PA. 
The owner said the tractor has never seen more than 100 hours per year usage 
since it was purchased new back in the 70's.  Sounds like one I shouldn't 
pass up but the owner is not giving it away; the price is the only thing 
making me hesitate.  But on the positive side it is in immaculate original 
field condition.

That's not many hours at all! We tried out a 1066 when I was in first grade
but opted for a Deere 4430.  I wanted the IH because the cab was roomier.
Somehow the opinion of a 6 year old didn't weigh heavy on the day-to-day
decision making for the farm. FWIW, my grandmother was 90 when deciding
which of these 2 tractors to buy.

I may be venturing into a new area of IH tractors.  I found a 1066 Black
Stripe in excellent original condition with 3500 original hours.  I can’t
find a dent in it, paint is original and has some gloss left; I think a
little wax will bring it back to almost “like new”.  I can find information
on the 1066 but not a whole lot on the Black Stripes other than they were
made in 1976 during the last year of production and have some features of
the 86 series.  We had a 966 on the farm when I was leaving to go to college
but never had any experience with it since I wasn’t around much anymore.  I
always wanted to add a larger/newer IH cab tractor to the fleet and I am
giving this one serious thought, my youngest IH is a 460 Hi-Utility Diesel.
Can anyone tell me what makes the 1066 Black Stripe different from the
standard 1066 and any other information they think I should know about the
1066.
