    The dumbest thing Tennoco did was pull the plug on IH. They finally began building a LARGE tractor able to compete with Deere's. So many of them are still working today

    Spent many hours on IH Farmalls. My uncle farmed with 560, 400, and an H. The 560 being the main workhorse of the farm. I can still hear the 560 as my uncle throttles and lowers the 4 bottom plow. Loved the sound of the 6cyl engine. Great memories!

    I grew up on what now would be considered a small dairy farm in southwest Wisconsin in the 70s and early 80s. Our tractors… 706, 560 and the Super M were my favorites! Thank you for the great memories

    I grew up on a dairy farm in north central Wisconsin. We had the H, M, 966, and 1086. It was the 1980's when I spent the most time on them before pursuing a career outside of farming. I'll always remember my hours on those red tractors as some of my best memories from that time.

    • @bigtractorpower

      I grew up in Western New York. The 1086 was the big tractor on many area dairy farms until the 7120 Magnum came along.

    We run Case IH on the farm in Illinois plus a couple of New Holland from same dealer.

    I was lucky enough to grow up on a grain farm in the 80's and 90's. We had a few H's, 706, 856, 1066, 1566, 3788, 1440 and 1460 Combines. It was a great way to grow up and I would not trade it for anything. I'm always looking to connect to that time and this video was great. Thank you for sharing.

    When I was in high school in the mid 70’s I worked for a guy that was an international dealer mechanic and went on his own. We worked on everything but mostly international tractors and trucks. I learned a lot about international and how to work on them. My favorite was probably the M and the 1066. My son has a nice 666 with a loader. Thanks for the video

    When I was 7 or 8 my grandfather would take me to the Hightstowm market. The IH tractor building in the front of the property had an 806 inside. I would jump on that tractor and dream. 20 years later I would drive that tractor in Yardville over many acres.
    Favorite IH is anything with a V8 and those long nosed tractors with duals front and rear.

    We owned 2 IH tractors in Serbia in the 90s and 00s. One was a 1066 in yellow color, and the other was a 1086 in white color. Both of them had double wheels in the back. I was just a little kid but I always wanted to sit in the cabin with my father in the 1086 since you could seat in the back in that tractor. A few times I even fell asleep in that tractor as a kid. I remember that they never wanted to start up on the first try so we always used K2 spray to start it up.

    My grandad had lots of older Farmall tractors but that was before I was born (Dec 1960) and when he passed away suddenly in Nov. that same year, my dad took over the farm at 24 years old. He eventually bought a 806, 966, 1086, 1466, 5088, 686 and a 7130. We still have the 966, 686 and 7130, but the 5088 caught fire in the field last year and burned up... a complete loss. My favorite was the 1466.

    I worked for a young farmer in south central Kansas, back in the late 1990s. Every tractor and combine was red, being a John Deere man I was running red paint. He had about every one of your favorites. Don’t remember all the numbers, but my favorite was a Perkins powered two wheel drive. The mufflers were shot so I put two straight pipes on it, ma was it loud when she was pulling hard. She would blow smoke about 40 to 50 feet in the air on a windless day. What a thrill. Loved that diesel smoke smell. Miss those days. Keep up the good work.

It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw at the time. 5488 is still my favorite tractor to this day.

    We had a 966 with the cab and an open station 806. Both worked good, but the 966 was pretty rough and probably needed an overhaul. Never wanted to lug down low, which seems uncommon. 806 was a true workhorse and is still in the family after selling everything else. Hour meter rolled over at least once, maybe twice!

      The 806 is a solid tractor. The 66 series are also good.

    Nice video. IH was very popular in our area in the '70s and '80s. Very fond memories of operating the 4166, 3788, 3588, 1456, 1466, 1468 (Of course it had the deluxe cab, belly mounted auxiliary fuel tank, chrome pipes and chrome heat shields lol), 1066, and all sorts of utility size tractors from the 606 to 574, 684.

      @@bigtractorpower There weren't many 4166s in our area. The ones I saw all seemed to be cranked up to higher hp which meant they ran with straight pipe exhausts. It was a beast! Used it to pull a 32 foot Vibrashank cultivator and occasionally a 24 ft. disc. .Small by today's standards, but uncommon in those days.

    We had 2 1256 Internationals bought in 1969 and pulled it against a 5020 JD and there was no comparison. The 1256 pulled everything we hooked on to at least one mph faster than the JD. Loved those tractors and put 6000+ hrs. on one and over 8000 hrs. on the other one.

    Any cattleman that had a Hydro 3488 a Hydro 186 or Hydro 100 with a loader on it would say it was one of handiest tractors made of any brand. They also worked very well on a snowblower, mixer feeder wagon, and are great on big round balers. The 826 & 656 were ok as haying tractors, just very underpowered, none of them were any good for field work, but they served their purpose very well in other areas on the farm.
