Finally found a really nice 1660. its an 86 model with all the upgrades done to it. 3900hrs newer rotor and walker bushings. this combine is in great shape for the year and the guy only wants 14,500 for it delivered to my door field ready. hes going to fix the tranny which is shifting hard from front to back and the rotor speed sensor is bad which hes going to fix. new bearings in the feeder house drum. It starts and runs great and the interior looks like new. It was sitting next to a 2388 and the paint was just as good if not better. Hes a case IH dealer and he said he would give me one year of parts at his cost if anything breaks down. It does need a set of tires up front soon but other than that Its the best combine in my price range I have seen so far. looks like I will finally get me a good combine that will last me a while.
Can't wait to try her out on my beans this year. Now I just need to find a head for it...

good luck hope it works out for you i bet your glad you didnt buy the 1420 you were thinking about. best of luck this fall let us know how it works for you
well what ever bushings you replace they were replaced lol.
a 1420 would have been plenty but this 1660 will sure do the job a lot faster and its in a lot better shape!

I need advice for a new combine (no hill only flat land).. actually have a 2388.
Are the bushing in the midrange 140 serie combine with the new Xflow cleaning system really beefed up ?
Is the Xflow cleaning system reliable or it's better to stay with the old fashionned cleaning system with...

Had our 8240 for 5 seasons now and have had our fair share of issues with the thing. Wanted to get an idea from others if we're an outlier or if this is standard with Case combines? We ran CRs previously.

what potentiometer part number is correct for a older 1020 header on a 2166. We were sent a 127360A2. Its not working. The prev owner said the combine was working with his header. Our header was working correct on a 1440, but we were told we needed a different potentiometer for the 2166. someone...
