Why is that underpowered? The 806 had a D361 and put out 85 stock. I don't necessarily think that Allan and Nat2 were worried about engine problems, I may be wrong though. For the most part, you can crank up a diesel tractor engine a good 30 horsepower and it won't care. However, the transmission, differential, clutch, and TA might. The 766's were not really designed to be 100 hp tractors, as others have said. Our 806 is at 105 horsepower and hasn't had a problem yet (it was done by a previous owner), but we don't pull it to its limits either. When you wrote that "If I can easily and safely get a 766 to put out 90 hp why wouldn't I?" I think you answered your own question. If it could be done easily and safely, IH probably would have done it themselves. Just a thought.
