growing up my dad had an 806 with a turbo. when he got a bigger tractor i used the 806 to plow while he ran the other. i grew really fond of that tractor, and wondered how many others consider this thier favorite? dad had many other international tractors but that one was my pick for a lot of reasons.

My first new tractor was 1967 806 diesel, rented a good farm and needed more hp than the 450D I bought used as my first tractor. By the second year I had a turbo on from an IH D15 dozer that ran the same 361 motor. For many years and several rear ends that tractor operated at around 150 hp in tillage work and put out as much as 180-200 on a few tractor pulling occasions. I still have the tractor, motor untouched, about 11,000 hrs still use for haying, winter chores, and on big auger in the fall. Great machine, still in very good shape but I would like to retire her and restore to new after 40 years of service.

We ran two 806's, an LP with a narrow front and 15.5X38 duals and a Diesel with a wide front. The LP handled real nice, sounded like it was going to pull the world in half, but it sucked. Not much power and the head came off every two years. The diesel was the finest tractor I ever knew, lots of power and it just refused to act up. Used all year for heavy tillage and pulled the feed wagon most of the day in the winter. I think one of my cousins has it now, it had 11,000 nearly trouble free hours when I saw it last.

when i was in high school, our biggest tractor was a farmall 300. by my senior year, we were plowing more ground than the 300, super c and neighbor's 350 farmall all plowing together, could keep up with. dad decided to get a bigger tractor, and tried out a 706, 4020 and 3020, allis 190xt, david brown something or other, not sure about oliver (a picture i wish i would have taken of them lined up on our lawn). then dad heard about a widow with a year-old 806 that had only run an irrigation pump. he went and looked at it and bought it. what a horse! 6 cylinder diesel, narrow front, fast hitch, no fenders, but who cared about fenders, 2 ptos, though it was several years before we had anything that needed 1000 pto. it was a monster, after running that 300. you felt like you were sitting on top of the world. he bought a 550 semimounted plow for it too. my brother still has the 806. it is tired, with over 11000 hours on it but the engine has never been apart. he uses it for haying now.

Drove the first one back in 63 for the first showing here in Ohio At the Canfield fair , every year my buddy and i would make a few bucks and free fair passes washen and waxen tractors for the I H dealer . I also worked for a large construction co. and the owner of it had one of the larger farms in this area at the time and his big tractor back then was a D19 Allis . along with a dozen others of vairous other makes . Well when i got up on that new monster i fell in love and got to run it around from where we washed them down to the display lot . Now on the weekends i would help out on my uncle's patato farm and we had for a big tractor a Olive 88 and two crawlers and the trusty old ferge 30 nothing that compaired to this monster , well when we had all the stuff we had to wash and wax i ran out to the bosses farm and had to tell him about this new monster , well he just had to go and see it before the fair opens well he got talken to the head salesman and asked Francis in these words JUST HOW MUCH DO WANT FOR THIS TRACTOR and Francis said 8645 dollars , well the boss just reached in his back pocket and drags out a compay check and fills it out and said sold have it at the farm in the morning and i'll need a plow and a disk for it also and i give ya a check when it hit the lane . Well Francis starts babblen but but we want to have it here for the fair so EVERBODY can see it and the old man said well ok but he is the only one that will drive it and looks at me and if he breaks it i'll have his arres. We the old man bouth that one and the nite the fair was over it was loaded on the truck and ahuled stright out to the farm before midnight . I alos told my uncle about the new tractor that the boss bought and that he needed to see it as my uncle hated fairs and did not go . So on the fallowen saturday he and i went up to the bosses farm and they were fall plowen with the 806 and the farm manager Kenny let my uncle run it , well from there we got back in the old Plymouth and headed down to another I H dealer to see if he had one and as we were going in the one drive here come a semi with one on in the other drive well my uncle bought that one and it went off the semi into the shop got checked over and tires loaded and on there truck and that afternoon it was setting at my uncles . That 806 was the first tractor that could pull the patato harvester by it's self , he also got a new set of 5x16 plows and a 16 foot disk. As for myself i have had 7 806's but never been able to keep one around till i got this one . everytime that i got a 806 and got it all fixed up with anything and everything that it needed someone would come in and buy it . I bought one of a guy in Indiania that his dad bought new and got it home and did a bunch of work to it plus a super nice paint job new T/A clutch and i don't remember what else oh yea new hides for the back and one cold day i was worken in the shop and this guy comes in and asked who's 806 that was setting out ft. I said mine , he says ya want to sell it NO i am keeping that one ,well just how much do you want for it ???? It's not for sale i just had that one on the cover of fast line don't want to sell it i am going to use it. Well just how much do you want for it , this went on for ten fifteen min. and finaly i said I'll take 8950 for figuren that should run him off and never darken my door again . He said OH OK and walked out the door as i sat there chuckeln bout a half hour later i hear a strange car pull in and figuren now what here he come with his wife and said how do you want this check made out . The one i have now is plum but ugly a narrow ft fast hitch need some hyd leeks fixed a paint job a new seat but it runs like a scalded dog. And NOBODY WANTS IT and i just love it.

Out of the tractors I've run, the 806 standard diesel was my favorite that I've run thus far. Nice sounding engine, good power, reliable/long lived.

Wish Dad wouldn't have sold it. :o(
