Andy: Just about everywhere I've travelled, and I've done a bit, an 806 would pull a 6x16 plow and play with a 5x16 plow. What I can't understand is how the forefathers of some of these guys managed to break prairie sod or clear from the forest, this difficult to plow land they now farm. Even 100 years ago most of this would have been done with mules, horses or oxen. I can't for the life of me understand how an ox, mule or a horse could have pulled a tillage tool the size of a pick, if an 806 wont pull 5x16 bottoms. Even if man used that pick in traditional manner, and if the soil is that damn hard, the pick would have bounced, rather than penitrate the soil.
60 years ago when I was a young boy, there were hundreds of photos out there from every state in the US and every province in Canada, and always it was a Farmall H pulling 2x14 or an M pulling 3x14. IH advertized this, even in the toughest going an H was 2 plow and M was 3 plow, yet some of these guys can only pull 4x16 with 100 hp. Something doesn't add up here, I think we're being given a line of BS. I'd like some of these guys to explain how their forefathers broke this sod. Must have been a truly amazing feat.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
