Its got a 3pt hitch that looks just like the one my neighbor had on his 806gas, The tractor has about 11k hours (hour meter quit working at 9k), rebuilt injector pump, the loader has been repaired (farm repair) I dont know what they tried to "move" with it but whatever it was exceeded the capacity of the loader, I looked up the specs on the loader and its rated lift capacity is 4000lbs with breakaway at 4530lbs and I doubt my 800-1100lb bales will ever get that heavy. This tractor is definately a "workhorse" and not a "parade" tractor.

I dont like the looks of the cab, but my Dad says after a couple trips down the driveway with the heater on, and a snow blower tossing the white stuff at -10F, I will be happy its on there, However without the cab I think it will fit in my shop, so only time will tell. Last Winter I borrowed the neighbors 806 (gas) with flattop fenders and snow blower, I didnt get terribly cold but I"m going to give this cab a try.

The tractor works (most important feature), and I knew it had issues before agreeing on a price. I look forward to working on it.

I almost bought a 706 with 3pt, running on 4 out of 6 cylinders, no cab, no fenders, not run in the last 6-7yrs for $3300. Maybe next year, I"ll have to negotiate a lower price though :) (my cousin owns is and is not in a rush to move it)

Do I get shifter rebuilt/rebush kits from a dealer or are there any aftermarket available?

thanks again,
-ron
