Goodbye IH 1466

Craig and I made an attempt to get the tractor running. I probably gave up too easily, but I feel overwhelmed with projects at the moment. So I sold the 1466, and made enough to cover the debts Nick owed me. You wouldn't believe how many people want a project! After owning it twice, I'll miss it a little, but it's just iron.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

At least you still have the boehm farm flag ship, the 1086. That’s a real shame Nick destroyed that 1466.

[@America-First2024]

Yes, older 100+ horsepower tractors are making a comeback. Especially when a new 100 horsepower tractor is $80k+ and has more electronics and emissions.

[@prjndigo]

I'm expecting Budd to realize this and start building modernized simple 105-120hp range gliders that will take import engines without a problem.

I'm just glad its not going to the scrapper. Definitely going to be a project for the new owner but at least its in much better hands.

[@drglinski]

That makes me sad. I have a special place for 1466s and there aren't many on YT. I enjoyed watching it on your channel.

[@OldFarmAcresJoelK.]

Thats a good thing you rescued it and then sold it to new owner. Otherwise it would have rotted away in mud.

I’m sad to see her go 😢.

Your right about the projects, don't take much to have your hands full. Glad it worked out for you.

Glad you are happy👍

wish i had the funds and time i would of bought it from you! would like to hear the story about nick some day.

[@osuoiler3605]

I just sold my pride-and-joy in tractor form a week ago, and it rolled down the driveway on a trailer today with the new owner. I still have my late father's tractor, which is more important to me, but it was still a little bittersweet to say goodbye to a tractor that I put so much effort into finding and buying. But, as you say, it's just iron. My bank account sure feels better now!

[@daw162]

when i was a kid, these were huge tractors. never would've believed they could end up being the hobby tractor that people want to buy non-running, and a type that could just be flicked away onto a trailer by a "mini-hoe"!

[@nalley6815]

Something else also. 66 series is extremely popular for pulling. Right now I’m looking for a 66 that doesn’t run to build a hot farm tractor. You probably had some people looking to do the same thing

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Sometimes you just have to move on. I have a hard time doing that. Have a good day

[@larrybg9293]

Great news good stuff

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@prjndigo]

There is so much on that tractor in reliable shape that is normally SHOT on them that even as a glider it's a steal. For the most part the kind of environmental care this age of tractor has received would get you arrested if you did it to dogs. That thing is _PRETTY_ even. I went in to a local used dealership down here that had a fully show-ready Oliver xx55 with a hard awning roof just sitting out in the weather and yelled at them a couple years ago. No bucket on the pipe, sunlight beating on the hoses...

[@jazzerbyte]

The open pipe bugs me too ... all the difference between something that could still run well VS a hunk of rust that takes a miracle to restore.

[@57fitter]

I saw it when you first put it on and wondered how long it would last. It didn't sound good cranking like it had a valve train issue. You did the right thing.

[@rogercarrico4975]

I was thinking the same about the cranking. Maybe he had the pump 180 out. 🤔

[@cs-gj3yf]

it almost sounds like a valve was sticking open then snapping shut

[@bigunone]

I take it NIck got in over his head? It may just be iron but you never forget your first!

[@SCberryfarmer]

I’m curious about Nick as well, new to the channel and really enjoyed the video of him stuck in the creek with the gravity wagon

[@koryleague8833]

I believe he said he'd make a video about what's going on, once the dust settled. Him ans bandit kinda implied there's legal matters to settle first if I understood him during the video when he went an got the 1466 back

[@crestviewfarm5229]

Hes in deep doodoo, but can't say much, in the off chance he gets a good lawyer, he could sue for defamation.

[@train1962]

[@burrridgefarms]

You must have enough irons in the fire that it is best that you let the 1466 go, besides the 1486 has a much better cab. How's Craig coming with his load of treasures from Ross?

[@boehmfarm4276]

You want to talk about having irons in the fire. Craig is adding to his. Stay tuned about all the horse trading of tractors I've been doing with him.

[@johnnyholland8765]

That is still a good tractor. Some time and money it could be made good again. They are simple to work on with a good engine and NO electronics except a fuse panel and alternator. New or even slightly used tractors in that hp range are bringing stupid prices at auction. I have a neighbor who worked for IH dealership 40 years. He could have it screaming in a short period of time...

I'm still surprised you sold that 1486.

I'll say this I wouldn't give up on that 1466 that easy. At least I wouldn't let someone until it was ran and back out in the field doing what it's supposed to do. I'm a big fan of the 1466 international. I'd rather see a case tractor hooked to the 1466 plus 2 cylinders. It isn't good for nothing anyway besides scrap metal

I wanted to make it run, but I'm trying to keep the number of projects low. I can't get them done fast enough right now.
