pros and cons 806 diesel

Well sadly the T/A didn?t hold up well as most T/A?s. The engine was better than the one in the 706. The battery covers were known to short the battery out. Not worth much no more than $7000.
 
Generally, a very good tractor. As with any 50 plus year old tractor repairs can be expensive when the time comes especially the engine. Prices have trended upward in the last ten years so with good paint and good high quality tires probably 8,000 dollars and then deduct from there for poor tires, poor paint, etc..
 
The 806 is one of the toughest tractor's ever built in my opion, i bought mine 9-11,67, still got it, two ta's,two water pumps, and two injection pump overhauls, never had the starter and other things off of it.
 
806 is one of the best tractors IH ever made. About 42,000 were made. The 'old' D361 is one of the longest lasting engines ever.As for 'value'? Too many variables to even guess. As with anything,condition and to a lesser degree,location.Better to find a tractor,post pics and description and price. then we can tell you fair or not.
 
Good solid tractor.I bought mine in 1978 still got it. The weakest point is the shifting levers/linkage. I changed mine over to a 56 series shifting mechanism. Much better to use and can adjust the reverse linkage if needed.
