806 PTO

lee little · Oct 17, 2013

I am looking for an 06 or 66 series for a possible project to swap an engine into. I have found an 806 that either had the pto taken out or came without one.How hard/expensive would it be to put one in it? I am trying to figure this out before I drive 125 miles to look at it.A few years ago some locals bought a 1206 that came from the factory without a pto.If I remember correctly it cost them about $1200 to put one in. If that's the case I guess I will look for a different tractor. Thanks for any input you may have.Lee

Whether it came without one from the factory, or had it removed, makes a HUGE difference.

If it was just removed all you need is a good PTO unit and possibly the coupler. Back the tractor up a steep hill and load the PTO unit in.

If you find one that is in good condition plan on spending 500 bucks that wood be the dual speed.Their heavy and would take several stout men or a engine hoist It has to be tipped to start it in and you will need the drive shaft and coupler.Hopefully it has the PTO drive gears up front.

The shaft and front gears will be in all of those tractors. They are needed to drive the front pump for steering and brakes even if the tractor had TA delete.

I used to lift them pto units in and out by my self. No more. Reminds me of one I repaired and went out to install it in the field. Actually in a ditch along side of the road. Guys young husky son picks it up out of pickup and carries it over to the tractor. I asked, kind of heavy, not too bad he says.

Like Pete I rebuilt many of them in the field. Put the front end down in a ditch. I had a bracket I bolted to the draw bar to hold the PTO assembly after I pulled it out. After rebuilding them I would slide them back in the tractor and bump the starter over just A bit to line the shaft and coupler.

Those units are a lot heavier today than they were 30 years ago. Today I do them in the shop where I can use the cherry picker.

This post made me smile ...I have done this same thing many times ..and yes those things seem to be getting heavier

Thank you all for your help. I will probably try to get time to go look at it. Now I have a way to compare it to others I am looking at. I grew up with an H being our "big" tractor. Currently a turbo 560 is probably the strongest thing I have.I am familiar with those tractors and my M tractors but not much on anything newer. From what I read the 06 ,56,and 66 series are about as bulletproof as they come so that is what I am looking for. I am am so thankful for this site and the good folks on it! Thanks again Lee
