'06,'56, Series

This is the same
tractor as shown on the right; only with some new paint.
Will get some detailing as I get
time. 806 Diesel Good runner. Will have it
repainted when it's turn comes-up. Looks good in the
picture, but a close look shows a "rattle can"
job! This is a rare one.
Decent runner; just waiting it's turn to be
restored. Has the desirable 310 engine put in
this model during (approximately) the last third of
production. This tractor starts really easy in cold
weather. These are great baler, green chop
tractors, etc... where infinite speeds are needed and the
operator doesn't want to stop and shift gears. They are not
design for heavy tillage '66
Series Here is a rare one. In
the future, I will put the story on how this tractor was
given to me, on the Babe page 1066 Hydro - Factory Front
Assist This is the tractor
shown on the left as it was delivered non-running with the
hydro condition unknown. The 1066 hydro was re-named the
Hydro 100 after a couple of production years This tractor spent
most of it's early working life planting veggies in NW Ohio.
It will become a baler tractor here in southern Ohio,
because of the hydro transmission and the
AC. This a nice, good
running tractor. Used it extensively, bushhogging this past
summer.
These are not your everyday 706 tractor. Some probably do
not like the looks of the LP, but I think they are neat.
Will post a picture after it is painted
(12-08)
This tractor is in storage and I need to get it out and have
it painted this winter
I use this tractor around the farm. They will still do alot
of work. One of the best models IH made.
I don't really need two 806 diesel
tractors, but hey, it's a free country; right? Anyway, this
is a late model one and I have been using it to haul manure.
Bottom end of engine re-built in 2010
I have used this one a good bit to
haul gravel. It was more economical to use when gasoline was
$4/gal and LP gas was under $2. I will continue to upgrade
this one because I feel it's worth
preserving
OK, as I said
before, I don't need another 806D, but it was priced right,
is a good tight tractor and it had an "owned by an old man"
story to go with it, Plus, I didn't have one with a narrow
front!!
I bought this tractor in 1980 and it
has about 4300 actual hours. It will be next to last tractor
to leave the farm (my Dad's 300 will be the
last)
These tractors have the German
diesel engine. It has always been a Ross County tractor,
which I tried to buy 10 years ago. I am the third owner and
have since put on 16.9 x 38 rear tires. Tach showing over
10,000 hrs., runs like a top and the engine has not been
touched.
