They have an engine that'll last almost forever, but they are fairly expensive to rebuild. Any T/A that works, including one just put in is in the process of going out, but if shifted correctly they last 5000+ hrs, and if abused can fail in no time at all. The trans and final drive rarely have any problems, and most are caused by putting on the parking brake while moving or having it out of adjustment, which takes out low in the range transmission. To replace it you have to pull the final drives and the differential. Many people consider an 806 to be the best IH ever made, and an 856 is an improved version of the 806. You'll be happy with it if it's in decent shape, as they are a great tractor. Jake
