I recently got a 766. I want to change out the Scwartz front axle that's on it--it's worn out everywhere and simply looks like a saddle on a sow. Looked to me like major bucks involved as the PS pitman arm extends out of the upper bolster. This means the steering control cylinder (piston) is located in there and not external as I've seen on other -66s. Got to fool with PS lines, too. Well, I got to looking at the neighbor's 806 yesterday. What I saw was quite interesting: the PS pitman arm comes out of the upper boster, too, and the axle pivot casting has what appears to be the same bolt pattern allowing it to fit on my 766 upper bolster. The -66s I've looked at have a large bolster bolt pattern, I'd say around 10" square. Hmmm...perhaps this axle change-out won't be as expensive as I thought. I also noticed that the two remote connections at the 806s rear were exactly as the 766s and not like I've seen on others. In addition, the locking blocks or cinch blocks (whatever the heck you call them) that tighten the rear wheel onto the axle are the same. Funny...the 766 operator's manual I recently got shows something different than what I have for these blocks. These striking similarities prompted my neighbor to ask: "Do you really have a 766?" How about an 826 that got some 766 sheetmetal? Oh, those of you out there, please tell me more.
