I am currently in the beginning stages of restoring my grandfathers 806, and am searching for parts. I have gotten to deep into it yet but it may require an overhaul. Looking for any recommendations on where to buy parts at? Also looking for the white elephant of an M & W oil pan for it as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Congrats on getting Grandpas tractor! In my humble opinion that 806 is the best tractor anyone ever made. Yes i am right
 
Myself i buy quality parts only . Usually i sort Build the kits myself , since Case I H does not make the engine parts themselfs any more they farm out to the low bidder . Now what you have are people that are putting the kits together from where ever they can buy them the cheapest . So Clevite , Perfect Circle, Seal Power and so on . On a D361 there is a lot more to doing a rebuild then just stuffen new sleeves and piston in it . To do the jo right a lot of checking needs done . Then finding a machine shop that can do the machine work correctly . That engine can have core shift so it is wise to line bore ( NOT LINE HONE ) and then once crank center line is good then it is wiise to go off crank center line and do a .10 over bore of the block and use the .010 oversized sleeves and get the proper PRESS in fit plus proper stand out of sleeves then you have to check the bore fore sleeve wrinkling and each piston must be fit to each hole as if you thing all parts are the same size your in for a rude awaking . Then doing the head here again valves MUST be set to proper hight. Connecting rods need rebuilt . Then after ya spent all that money ya have the injection pump to go thru and the injectors. SOOOOOooo if this engine is still running fine and does not use three qt. of oil in a full day of hard work and it starts fine and runs well stay out of it as this engine is not a plug and play engine and not for the NOVICE as on same slip up in you engine build can send all that money you dumped into it into pieces and parts for a new Toyota.

Last person I know who did that spent a tad over 12K from a good shop. That was taking the tractor in and having it done plus a new clutch while it was apart. This was about 5-6 years ago.
