Fuel System Fuel Type: Diesel Fuel Injection System: Likely Direct Injection (DI) with a Bosch inline injection pump (specifics vary by engine and model year). 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Manual Synchromesh (Common), Torque Amplifier (TA) option Optional Transmission Options: Powershift transmission may be available on some higher-spec models. Features Torque Amplifier: Provides an extra range of gears, effectively doubling the gear ratios for more precise control. Gear Configurations: Typically 8 forward and 4 reverse gears (without TA), or 16 forward and 8 reverse gears (with TA). 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Varies by model, typically around 90-100 inches. Weights Operating Weight: Approx. 7,000 - 11,000 lbs (unballasted, varies significantly by model and configuration). 🛡️ Safety Features Passive Features Operator Protection: ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) may have been an optional or dealer-installed feature for later models or specific configurations. Safety glass in cab. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic disc brakes (wet or dry depending on configuration), parking brake. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Features: Basic (Primarily functional instrumentation, radio may have been an option). Driver Assistance Features: None (Focus on mechanical operation and basic controls). 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Engine Oil Change: Typically 250-300 operating hours, or annually. (Refer to manual for exact specifications). Fuel Filter Replacement: As needed or at scheduled intervals (e.g., every 250 hours). (Refer to manual). Air Filter Service: Check regularly, service or replace as needed based on operating conditions. (Refer to manual). Fluid Specifications Engine Oil: API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, viscosity grade SAE 15W-40 or 30. (Specific capacity varies by engine). Transmission Hydraulic Fluid: IH Hy-Tran (or equivalent UTF - Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid). Capacity varies significantly based on transmission type and PTO engagement. Coolant: Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. (Refer to manual for specific type and capacity). Known Issues Common Wear Items: Clutch wear, PTO clutch engagement, seal leaks (engine, transmission), starter motor reliability, electrical wiring corrosion. Torque Amplifier Issues: Potential for wear in the TA clutch pack and engagement mechanism if not used properly. Diesel Engine Maintenance: Importance of clean fuel, proper air filtration, and timely oil changes for longevity of the DT-466 engine. 📚 Vehicle History Brand Heritage Manufacturer: International Harvester (IH), later known as Case IH. Model Evolution Production Era: Late 1960s to mid-1970s (e.g., 766 introduced around 1969-1971, 1066 around 1971). Market Segment: Utility tractors, suitable for row-crop farming and general farm work....
