Well all i can say is this is something that i have not come across YET , i have and early 806 D pushen close to 12000 hrs and the only thing i have done to that tractor since i bought it in like 1998 is i did a valve adjustment For the first time in it's life i put a clutch in it and a IDPTO shaft in it replaced the light switch TWICE a new seat , a steering wheel out of a combine ,put a wide ft. under it for hay making Only and a new set of Fire Stone radials . Could stand and injection pump rebuild and is starting to need a new Hyd pump . and she is a Rag plum ugly with oil leaks But she runs well putting out around 112 Hp. Reason i will not make it like new is if i do someone will want it like the last one i fixed up for myself . Got tired of fixen them up . People are like old Crows , make them shinny and new and they have got to hqave them and will take NOT FOR SALE as and answer and bug you to death . earl 806's had a small oil cooler and the 8 point female head bolts but they did have the oil cooling jets one per hole later 806's still only had one jet per hole the T D 15's ran the 361 with turbo and had TWO jets per hole and a larger oil cooler and in the dozers a larger rad.; . Man i worked for back in the early sixtys bought the First 806 sold in my area straight from the fair on it's first showing to the public , the following Saturday my uncles bought the second one one county south . Both had turbos installed before the first scratch was put in the paint one was used on at the time a large dairy operation owned by my boss the one my uncle bought was used on a tater farm and it pulled 5 x16 semi mounts a 16 foot disc and a john Bean tater harvester . over a 1000 acres of tater and wheat. During spring field work that tractor ran 24-7 when the weather was good with many drivers from 63 till 68 when he went john deere for the powershifts due to the hired help . Only problem we had with the 806 was Pinion and ring gears due to the fact she was turned way up . If the one your looking at does not breath heavy out the crankcaes vent , starts on a cold day with out either and the T;/A will hold in high third or high fourth while loadiong the tractor with the brakes and down shift with out it stopping dead in it's track then she is pretty good BUY it . IF you have to feed it either to get it running and the /A is out walk away unless you can buy it for scrap price and willing to spend another 5-7 grand in parts and machine shop work and you can find and old fart that knows how to work on the 361-407's .
