[Farmall] Help with info on 1066 Black Stripe

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

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.

Subject: [Farmall] Help with info on 1066 Black Stripe

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.
