1466

Stumbled across this picture of a real clean 1466. 'Taint that a sweet one? :>)

How did you post the Picture. I've got a good shot of my 656 we painted this past summer and would like to post it. Any help would be appreciated.

Shep2 in NE Go Big Reds!! NU and IH!

First step is to 'size' your picture to properly fit the screen. I set 'em at 600x800 pixels.

Secondly, you have to load the thing up to the Internet somewhere. Like on the left side of this page for instance, under "Tractor Photos". Go in there and 'add your picture'.

After the picture is uploaded, open it up and RIGHT click on the photo itself, and then left click on 'properties' at the bottom.

Copy the URL address by highlighting it and 'copy'.

Then, it is just a matter of pasting that address into the "Optional Image URL" box at the bottom of your message.

If you have trouble, my email is uncovered, so you can email me the original picture and I'll stick it up here for you. Like those 656s!!

Hope this helps,

Is it a spinner? My dad had one of those that we used behind the 560. Nice plow, but I never liked the darned 2 point.

Boy!, did that thing ever make that old diesel grunt! :>)

It really needs a classic oval muffler to look right... Never liked those straight stacks.

Ya gots to wear the Mickey Mouse ears anyway with these things.....I sure wouldn't have a pipe on a tractor.

My ears are still ringin' from all those years atop the tractors. They is LOUD!

Allan

One more question...were those white letter tires common/original? I have seen them before and they look great on the right tractor....would look pretty out of place on my old Farmalls though.

Naw, I was thinkin' kinda hard about a 766D because that is what I had before, but the more I think about it, I've now pretty well got everything I'll ever need.

I need the 9 for a plow tractor & ensilage cutter and the old 686 will do just fine for the light work.

Don't think the white lettered tires were a factory thing; sure weren't on any of the new ones I ever bought anyway. :>)

Allan

I'll say! Except for that pipe, that thing is a picture right outta the sales book!

He really has a nice tractor in this one.

Red is right. Any of these IH tractors above about 60 horsepower are too loud for the human ear to withstand (about 80 decibels) without hearing loss.

When they are wound up and working hard, the tractors just simply "scream" and the sound is unbearable.

So, if you want to protect and save your hearing, you have to use ear protectors. I have a permanent "ringing" in my ears 24 hours a day because I had to learn this lesson the hard way. :>(
