Farmall 1466

The Farmall 1466 tractor is a durable and robust machine designed to meet the daily demands of row-crop work. Manufactured by International Harvester between 1971 and 1976, this model came with a variety of features that helped establish its reputation for reliability. It can operate with either a 2WD or a 4WD chassis, with a hydrostatic power steering system for better control and independent hydrostatic dry disc brakes for increased safety. The engine powering this model is the turbocharged International Harvester DT-436, a six-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine, offering a 147 horsepower output and a displacement of 436 cubic inches. The tractor was built to accommodate a weight of 13,480 lbs, although ballasting could increase this to 16,660 lbs, for better traction and stability depending on the work requirements. Whether equipped with gear type transmission or torque amplifier, the Farmall 1466 operated through a choice of 8 forward and 4 reverse or 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. This model also included an open operator station, with an optional cab that provided heat and A/C for operator comfort during long hours on the field.
