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.
