John, I have leased or owned these tractors since they came out. I leased a 9690 the first year and a 9815 the second year.I leased 5 of them. Now own a 9695 and a 9675. If you ever had a IH with a 466 these are basically the same motor. I understand that penzke bought this motor from Navastar when he bought Detroit.Have not had any motor ,trany or rearend problems with a single one.there are some areas that, I consider weak though and I am orange threw and threw.The A_C always seems to need attention,I dont care that much for the cab layout,but I was use to the big cabs in the 8000 series Allis Chalmers. I had a few electrical problems with the 95 but seem to have them fixed.Overall I think they are a very good tractor,for the money.The powershift is nice the only place they have a jump is between 9th and 10th gear.They run fast on the road 25 to 27 depending wether it has 46 or 42 rears. You should be able to buy that tractor for less then 62000 though in my opinion. Illinois Gleaner
