UGH!! Well, it took most of the day to do this one. Got higher quality images, but am having difficulty getting the picture centered. Still putzing around, trying to find a better means. Once I get things ironed out, I'll have to redo these first ones. Well, enjoy this next installment!

My dad traded a wore out 560 gas for a 806 diesel with 1000 hours in 1970. Great step up.

I just bought one. It belonged to my 81 year old relative who bought it new in '66. He bought it from another relative on the other side of my Dad's family who worked in sales for International Tractor and Truck in Raleigh NC. I am sitting here right now thumbing through the owner's and parts manuals. I have driven a bunch of different tractors, and to spite my 806's quirks due to age, like sloppy brake pedals, and hunt till you find it shifting, it is one of the smoothest running and steering tractors I have ever driven, and the best I currently own in that regard.

I was 14 years old when International Harvester came out with the IH Farmall 806 diesel. My uncle had one and so did my dad, we also had a 706 Famall gas tractor.

That tricycle front end reminds of doing a clutch job in the field under a big oak. Great tractors . They would give a 5 bottom plow a fit in these N C foothills river bottoms. I almost cried thinking about it

We had an 806 Wheatland with a M&W turbo. What a beast.

Thanks for the video. I subscribed. It's unfortunate that IH didn't come out with the 806 sooner to get ahead of the 4010 or even 4020. Both the 806 and 4020 were great tractors, but IH lagged, and Deere got the head start

Once farmall come with the 806 they could go up against john deere.

Glad you enjoyed! Got the picture quality a little better this time around.

Yet another great IH film! Love it! Can’t help but notice what must have been a very early, possibly pre-production, tachometer! Much different looking to the multi colored gauge and in all honesty I wouldn’t mind them having kept that! It looks much simpler then the tach they chose to go with. I still look and try and figure out what the tach is showing us, other then for the really only use we have for it which is the PTO indication on it for when we run our cutter. Thanks again for sharing these!

@ikonseesmrno7300 3 жыл бұрын

The serial number on my 806 is 12xx & it doesn't have that gauge. So I would guess pre-production. The rainbow tach is handy, but like you, I pretty much only use it to find 540. It's also handy for keeping the inverter going at the right speed for crop conditions. Glad you enjoyed the video. I'll be adding one more tonight before I'm done. Got the camera a little straighter this time. Should look pretty good. Regards!

Bad items:the pto handle location, the lift control levers are low. And the ancient wheel adjustment set up. Other than that the rest is excellent.

@ikonseesmrno7300 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the PTO lever is in an odd spot, even if you're twisted around looking at the machine & I scraped my thumb knuckle a couple times on the lift control before I bent it away from the arm rest plate. It is indeed a fine tractor otherwise. Regards!

Cousin Scott sent me... So I am here, subscribed and watching the "big rear-end"👍😁 seems like I've heard a song about that🤔 "I like big butts and I can not lie....."😂🤣👍 Thanks for the video!!

I chuckle every time I hear that & badly wanted to edit one into the video. That & the plow with good throat clearance. Lol! Welcome Ed! There will be a good sized handful of videos yet to come. Still trying to figure out the best way to copy the images. May end up getting a scanner after all. Regards & thanks for signing on & tuning in!

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin I know how that goes. The first of those vids that were posted has such a high viewing count due to the fact that I posted a link to it on the tractor forum. Tons of people there with no account. Oh well. When I'm done with this series, I'll post on there again. When I purchased this collection, I did it with the idea of sharing them with everyone. Couldn't stand the thought of these sitting on a shelf somewhere. The whole light under a basket deal. So, spread the good word. I charge no admission & will run no ads.

Anyone out there ever repaired a major hydraulic leak at the front steering box on an 806?

@ikonseesmrno7300 2 жыл бұрын

Do you know what is leaking? One of the lines or the steering unit itself?

@brendtoconnell6119 2 жыл бұрын

@@ikonseesmrno7300 I believe it may be a blown seal from the steering box at the axel because its blowing hydraulic crazy. The steering made a whining sound before the pump got wormed up. However this tractor of my fathers hasn't been started in 18 years. But it cranked up.

@ikonseesmrno7300 2 жыл бұрын

@@brendtoconnell6119 That issue is a bit out of my realm as I haven't had to change out that seal. If you post your question on either the Red Power forum or Yesterday's Tractors, you'll get the help you need. Both sites still have a couple retired IH service men as members & there are a few others there that have most likely gone through what you're working on. Regards & good luck!!
