Tractor Tales: 1959 International 660 Diesel

[@kennethbrewer8322]

I farmed in the 90s with a 660 wheat land with duels, and a 856 ih and a Gvi mm.

[@anjshakes]

We had three of them. Still have two.

The 'Big Daddy" of the 60 Series tractor range. There was a 660 Gasoline and an LPG version also built, but the Diesel was the most popular of the 660 tractors. Sold mainly in the Western wheat belt of Canada and the USA. Some 660 Diesels were exported to Australia too

[@ronkennedy8676]

Does that tractor have planetary gears in the rear drive axle?

[@hammerslammer3006]

Guessing you'd figured it out by now but yeah planetary hubs. Basically a hot screamin 560 wheatland with planetaries.

[@kennethbrewer8322]

Yes,

​@@hammerslammer3006the 660 had a bit bigger engine.

[@SamMaass-s5h]

Same cubic inches but it ran faster.
