For Warren, perfecting how to rebuild this IH 1066 axle and steering has been a fun winter project. He has many memories with this family tractor. This was the first full-size farm tractor his grandfather ever purchased. It spent many years running a silage chopper for dairy and beef cattle. And, he spent many hours riding on the fender while his grandfather operated it. After about 50 years of farming, his grandfather recently retired. We had the privilege of buying two of his tractors, including this old workhorse. Warren’s latest project has been to restore it to a fully functional and dependable haying tractor. Follow along as he rebuilds the front axle, upgrades the steering, installs safety lights, and replaces some of the original electrical.
