I love those tractors I grew up on the fender riding with dad on his 806 and 1256 I’ve spent many hours driving and riding those old IH tractors thanks for sharing buddy god bless you and your family
In Europe 956 n 1056 were some of the most bombproof tractors. We put closer to 9000 hrs on a 956. Apart from maintenance, only swapped a crankshaft bearing plus several rear axle main bearings (not the best for duals).
When I was in high school back in the mid 70’s I worked for a guy that had started his own shop after working at an international dealership. Worked on a lot of them old tractors . I could have split a 806 blindfolded we did so many. Things were so simple back then.
All because they are called Techs now. They would spend the whole day washing. Charge the client and finally try to start the job and having a 2 hour lunch plus breaks. 😄
Warren when I see you work on these old tractors it just amazes me how cool you are working on them! I guess because the old ones are just simple and straight forward, But wow you make it look so simple that I know it is not! but you have done a few of them so you just know what to look for and what to do. Great video Warren thanks.
You're amazing Warren! I just retired from a major AFB in Ohio and voleentered for snow removal in the winters, used to run the those IH's on 2 ,12 hr shifts 24,7, not to mention they mowed grass on the airfield all summer! They were used and abused big time But rarely had problems! I could roll a 12 hr shift plowing snow with a 10ft blade and use about 11 gal. Of fuel!! Take care! Love your videos! 🤙🤙
I bought a 986 new in 1980 and kept it four years. Put about 2000 hours on it. It had the 466 engine in it I think. It never gave me any problems. Always cranked and ran hot or cold. Lot of people down the 86 series because of the cab but mine always kept me warm or cool. Love the comment on the reverse starter...
I worked at a case IH dealership for several years. These use to be my bread and butter tractors. I think I could do a clutch or a TA with my eyes closed. Thanks for the memories. Good video
Love these tractors. We have two of them. Planted 500 acres of beans with one of them this year. We have nice cab kits in them and the A/C works good on both. They're not quite as comfortable as the new ones but still very comfortable.
Another Warren repair done for the books, your tractor stand on wheels is a great idea sure makes a job like this a little easier, once your generation of mechanics are retired the Green New Deal should be in full swing lay-offs, and unemployment on the rise... great video Warren!!!
Great job! The 66 and 86 series IH tractors were the workhorse tractors back in the early 70's & 80's with the DT436 engine. Grew up as a kid on the farm working on them.
I love the old Farmall IH equipment. In fact, I was driving two different Farmalls this morning that are each more than twice my age! Built to last. I dearly miss the days of solid steel instead of plastic. Warren, you would be welcome with open arms in western Wisconsin. I've spent quite a bit of time on an IH 1066 and that was honest horsepower.
Got a bunch of this generation IH working good on my farm. We have the 56's , 66's and 86's series. I love them. When you wear out an engine you can get a IH combine engine as replacement. Good ones will usually run around $4000. Lot cheaper and faster than a full rebuild.
Another great video Warren, not quite sure why you don’t get these tractors to your shop to work on but it don’t matter I still really enjoy watching you work on them. Thanks much and take care.
Had 2 826's. One hydro that had the transmission that the neighborhood knew unique sound. Just sold my gear drive. First tractor l learned to drive. I think the 1066 was the best model like Deere's 4440. Good old well built machines! Great fix Warren!🏆
Love the older tractors. Made back in the day when everything was just so simple and easy to work on. You might think about getting yourself a short step ladder Warren, would help to get around when needing to get above them old tractors. Great video as always. Cheers :)
When I was younger , corn binder use to make a dozer , gas start -diesel run , a small example of an improvement , instead of a bunch of dreamed up add on unnecessary garbage that costs much more and creates many more problems , an improvement helps the machine last longer ,not cause even more problems .....
Thanks for all of the videos. It is amazing the variety of equipment you work on. I definitely miss farming and working with the other farming families. Appreciate you bringing us along.
I grew up around the 560 ,706 ,806 , and the neighbors had the bigger one , I don’t remember the number but used 2 times a year for chopping silage and molboarding it had a big v 8 twin stacks ,it sounded beautiful and I loved the way it smelled when it was working
all this time I thought I was the only one to use imitation concrete to split a tractor, Thanks for all your effort to make these videos . a 4ft ladder sure helps my knees . TAKE CARE.
So Refreshing watching you working on an old school tractor! Man you would think with the demand farmers now have who are now wanting to buy used K I S S tractors that at least one of them manufacturers would go back and start making old/new units? Betcha they would outsell everything they are now making!
Have an 886. Always a good runner. Had to have the engine rebuilt last year after one of wet cylinders developed a pin hole leak and all the coolant dumped into the oil. Nice to work on, no computer needed.
I had slip clutches on PTO rusted solid on east coast salt areas. They won't slip even when bolts are loose. Best to loosen slip clutch and let them burn in polish friction s and get rust off then adjust bolt preload springs . Or else..
Not judging or be critical just sharing. A freind at work was a dealer mechanic back in the 80's and split these alot. One particular customer loved to side step the clutch. By the end of his time he could R&R the clutch and drive the tractor out in under 2 hours.
Ah yes, know all about the starters..............Watched a guy one time in a tomato field install a IH starter in a Deere.........Company mechanic knew it might be wrong, he wasn't sure on the shelf which rebuilt ones was which as they had both colors........Well, they guessed wrong. I thought it was quite funny, I label mine with a paint marker on the nose. Oh well, we had a good laugh.
I work at an old-school IH/Case IH dealership here in PA Amish country and there are so many of these old 66/86 series tractors still running around every day. The Amish love using them for power units and for pulling wagons around. We get a lot of them in for service.
Liked the story of the starter that run backward. I was working for a Co. that ran 2 Detort . ONE LIFT HAND TURN ONE RIGHT HAND TURN . run line shafts we had a blower go out on one , thay sent 2 men 100 miles to get a new or rebuilt one . returned with the wrong one. I also work old farms for 20 plus years , I thank the older tractors will still out work the new ones. day per day . To many comptures. In 1980 we got a new 1486 it was chucked 2 times before it made it throue the first 1/2 mile of work . Flywheel was not turn from factory . 15 years later it had not been chuck again.
Wow, I think those are the cleanest coverals I've ever seen you in. You been slacken? Lol. Older tractors are real tractors. Not computerized junk with big back wheels.
With speed sensors- you've got a lot of choices nowadays. There's a few aftermarket setups, very easy to install. If the vehicle has ABS you can tie into a WSS, the transmission output could have a PWM or hall effect with a magnet like a CPS or CMP. Many differentials like Dana have hall effect/magnet on the ring gear. Many cars (even my '89) have a rev limiter, tied into the neutral safety switch. You should be able to cross a wire somewhere.
There are WAY too many out there, that think since you have a slip clutch on a piece of equipment, you are good to go. They never read the part in the manual that tells you to back the springs off and 'burn in' the clutch after setting over winter or an off season, and readjust the clutch to the HP rating of the tractor PTO. If the clutch is rusted tight, or adjusted too tight for the tractor you are using, you have no safety for the internals of the tractor PTO and this kind of stuff happens.
Nice, no DEF, no computers, and no plastic. The good old days.
You said it. Things just worked!
Right
Ah yes, the days when things were made to last!
@@Adam-dq1wp And lasted more than 3/4 years before it was broken down.
Yeah but we killed more 🌳..😏
I love those tractors I grew up on the fender riding with dad on his 806 and 1256 I’ve spent many hours driving and riding those old IH tractors thanks for sharing buddy god bless you and your family

Like the old barn in the background.
That was the first thing I noticed 👍

Really liked the 66 and 86 series IH. Glad it was just a clutch and not something more serious. Great work.
You have balls of absolute steel splitting a tractor like that with a full rack of weights on the front
Thanks for your great videos 😀. You are working so much, think it's time to go fishing again 👍🎉
I agree with that, right back in the same spot would make me happy.
I would have liked to gone fishing today. Rain and storms have canceled plans.
The moral of these videos is that it is less expensive to fix something than buy a new one, provided Warren is your mechanic!
Warren you are one good mechanic, nobody and I mean nobody would do that in the dirt where I live. Have to take it to the shop. Top shelf.
All because they are called Techs now. They would spend the whole day washing. Charge the client and finally try to start the job and having a 2 hour lunch plus breaks. 😄
Old school tools (come a long) for old school tractor, great work!
This is going to be classic, love the change in menu from green, Sunday special! Thanks Warren
Warren when I see you work on these old tractors it just amazes me how cool you are working on them! I guess because the old ones are just simple and straight forward,
But wow you make it look so simple that I know it is not! but you have done a few of them so you just know what to look for and what to do. Great video Warren thanks.
I’m a John Deere Guy But them old IH tractors just reliable as Hell. Thank you for the videos keep up the Great Work 👍
You're amazing Warren! I just retired from a major AFB in Ohio and voleentered for snow removal in the winters, used to run the those IH's on 2 ,12 hr shifts 24,7, not to mention they mowed grass on the airfield all summer!

Love International's 😍 thank you Warren!!! 👍
Just finished a TA and clutch job on my 1086, a lot more fun watching someone else do it lol
I bought a 986 new in 1980 and kept it four years. Put about 2000 hours on it. It had the 466 engine in it I think. It never gave me any problems. Always cranked and ran hot or cold. Lot of people down the 86 series because of the cab but mine always kept me warm or cool. Love the comment on the reverse starter...
My grandpa bought a 986 about then, too. That tractor just flat worked. Dad kept it running until he retired a half dozen years ago.
Amazing to me how confidently you approached and fixed a difficult project. Like always 👍👍. I hope you’re making enough on these jobs.
Good work warren love it when you repair the good old equipment 👍👍
I worked at a case IH dealership for several years. These use to be my bread and butter tractors. I think I could do a clutch or a TA with my eyes closed. Thanks for the memories. Good video
Love these tractors. We have two of them. Planted 500 acres of beans with one of them this year. We have nice cab kits in them and the A/C works good on both. They're not quite as comfortable as the new ones but still very comfortable.
I bet they're comfortable in the wallet compared to the new ones. 😂
Warren i enjoy your videos and seeing your work ethic
Glad you got a sweet job like that ,it is awsome folks still run that old but really great equipment!
Another Warren repair done for the books, your tractor stand on wheels is a great idea sure makes a job like this a little easier, once your generation of mechanics are retired the Green New Deal should be in full swing lay-offs, and unemployment on the rise... great video Warren!!!
It's lucky for the owner that it didn't break that shaft. The clutch is a lot less expensive repair. Thanks Warren!
Great job! The 66 and 86 series IH tractors were the workhorse tractors back in the early 70's & 80's with the DT436 engine. Grew up as a kid on the farm working on them.
2 in one day for me, "outstanding"!
I love the old Farmall IH equipment. In fact, I was driving two different Farmalls this morning that are each more than twice my age! Built to last. I dearly miss the days of solid steel instead of plastic. Warren, you would be welcome with open arms in western Wisconsin. I've spent quite a bit of time on an IH 1066 and that was honest horsepower.
My dad keeps saying I should buy an 806 diesel...I think he's right.
Great job man - you’re so nonchalant when it comes to the repairs you do yet you impress me every video bud - cheers
Good job Warren! I like that were able to finish this off in one video. And it isn't out there hanging over your head! That is a great ol' tractor.
I miss my dads 1066. Great tractor
Got a bunch of this generation IH working good on my farm. We have the 56's , 66's and 86's series. I love them. When you wear out an engine you can get a IH combine engine as replacement. Good ones will usually run around $4000. Lot cheaper and faster than a full rebuild.
What a craftsmanship!!!! Superb vid again Mr. Warren
Another great video Warren, not quite sure why you don’t get these tractors to your shop to work on but it don’t matter I still really enjoy watching you work on them. Thanks much and take care.
I hate being in the shop.
Tractor splittin is always a good one. Learned today - Never install a wrong rotational starter.
Great tractor. Nice to see you working on the good old IH
Had 2 826's. One hydro that had the transmission that the neighborhood knew unique sound. Just sold my gear drive. First tractor l learned to drive. I think the 1066 was the best model like Deere's 4440. Good old well built machines! Great fix Warren!🏆
Never easy splitting a tractor, but she didn't fight too bad. good to have her back on the line.
No way in hell will new tractors be operational as long as the old iron.
Love to see these international videos they help me out a lot
Split apart and back running in the same time as splitting a new tractor.
Your knowledge is of things mechanical is amazing 👍🇬🇧
Funny you say that about the Kubota deal. Your videos changed my mind on keeping ours 100% lol. Cheers from lakeview
Love the older tractors. Made back in the day when everything was just so simple and easy to work on.
You might think about getting yourself a short step ladder Warren, would help to get around when needing to get above them old tractors. Great video as always. Cheers :)
Good old tractor thanks for the video Warren thanks for your time and consideration top job 🚜🇬🇧🚜🇺🇸🚜
You cracked me up when relating the story of the JD 'specialists' installing the wrong way turning starter motor.
Nice job Warren.
I hope it was a John Deere that paid Warren's Bill and not the farmer
When I was younger , corn binder use to make a dozer , gas start -diesel run , a small example of an improvement , instead of a bunch of dreamed up add on unnecessary garbage that costs much more and creates many more problems , an improvement helps the machine last longer ,not cause even more problems .....
Thanks for all of the videos. It is amazing the variety of equipment you work on. I definitely miss farming and working with the other farming families. Appreciate you bringing us along.
You ought to get one of these little folding step ladders like people using in their kitchen
Brings back memories, its been 35 yrs since last time splitting one of these, but fixing to split my 806 in the next few weeks.
Wow nice work Warren You make it easy like changing a car tire. Take Care
Great job Warren Thanks for sharing 👍 👏
I grew up around the 560 ,706 ,806 , and the neighbors had the bigger one , I don’t remember the number but used 2 times a year for chopping silage and molboarding it had a big v 8 twin stacks ,it sounded beautiful and I loved the way it smelled when it was working
Those old girls were strong American metal
all this time I thought I was the only one to use imitation concrete to split a tractor, Thanks for all your effort to make these videos . a 4ft ladder sure helps my knees . TAKE CARE.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated. Keep going.
So Refreshing watching you working on an old school tractor!
Man you would think with the demand farmers now have who are now wanting to buy used K I S S tractors that at least one of them manufacturers would go back and start making old/new units?
Betcha they would outsell everything they are now making!
Not going to happen with the environmental regulations on diesel engines these days.
Another great job done by a professional thanks for the videos God bless you and your Family. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Have an 886. Always a good runner. Had to have the engine rebuilt last year after one of wet cylinders developed a pin hole leak and all the coolant dumped into the oil. Nice to work on, no computer needed.
Wish you lived closer to Albany , OR. I love your common sense mixed with intelligence.
another awesome video thank you for posting
Another great video Warren. Kinda hard on things when you stop rotary mower dead it's interesting what else is broke besides the mower.
Thank you, We learn from you doing. Nice job.
It's always good for ya marol , doing a simpler job that goes really well 👍👌
One heck of a great job. My hat is off to you.
I had slip clutches on PTO rusted solid on east coast salt areas.
They won't slip even when bolts are loose.
Best to loosen slip clutch and let them burn in polish friction s and get rust off then adjust bolt preload springs . Or else..
They are a good old tractor a real workhorse and simple to work on
Thank you for another nice video, Warren.
You are welcome.
Thanks for taking us along
Not judging or be critical just sharing. A freind at work was a dealer mechanic back in the 80's and split these alot. One particular customer loved to side step the clutch. By the end of his time he could R&R the clutch and drive the tractor out in under 2 hours.
I'm certain Boehm Farm will archive this one!
Love how they mounted the starter. Never would have thought to look under the floor.
Had one of those growing up! So cool
A tough old tractor like that and you wonder what kind of improvement could have been made to make these news one attractive
another Farmer rescued ! love these videos !
Great videos 👍 thanks Warren
Thanks for the share Warren.
I liked this both times.
💯❤️ IT another 5 ⭐ video, viewer from South Carolina God bless y'all 💯
Great video as always and your right with rqod speed sensor its gonna need one
Ah yes, know all about the starters..............Watched a guy one time in a tomato field install a IH starter in a Deere.........Company mechanic knew it might be wrong, he wasn't sure on the shelf which rebuilt ones was which as they had both colors........Well, they guessed wrong. I thought it was quite funny, I label mine with a paint marker on the nose. Oh well, we had a good laugh.
Awesome video
Use a 986 to pull a batwing mower here. Great old machine. Only issue is really hard to get in gear.
The money is in the barn in the background.
How's that ? 🤔
I work at an old-school IH/Case IH dealership here in PA Amish country and there are so many of these old 66/86 series tractors still running around every day. The Amish love using them for power units and for pulling wagons around. We get a lot of them in for service.
Thank you for the video
Oh I forgot love that old farmstead and barn...
nice old tractor...and nicer old barn. The good ole days
Sometimes you make it look easy. Wonder why it never works out that way when I do something. 🙄
Liked the story of the starter that run backward. I was working for a Co. that ran 2 Detort . ONE LIFT HAND TURN ONE RIGHT HAND TURN . run line shafts we had a blower go out on one , thay sent 2 men 100 miles to get a new or rebuilt one . returned with the wrong one.

Hello there. Old but reliable. I would rather have that old las than all of those new stuff. When they need attention. Thay are good to work on.
Another job well done
Thats a nice old beauty 👍👍👍👍👍

Back when the knee bone really was connected to the thigh bone, without a microprocessor in the middle - and at either end.
Those old tractors are good ones. The only model that wasn’t a dandy were the old 2 plus 2’s.
We still use our 1466 and 966 with a loader on it pretty dependable tractors
Nice work
