My question is, why? After a few minutes, an 806's hydraulic system should be good to go even in the coldest temperatures.

If you're thinking that warming the oil is somehow "fixing" a problem you're having... It's only masking it, and it's only a matter of time before the whole thing goes belly-up on you.

There's no specific commercial product designed for the "large frame" IH tractors, or any IH tractor that I'm aware of. Whatever you do is going to be a cob-job.

Putting a heater in the filter cover will only warm the oil in the filter. The best place to warm the oil is in the reservoir, but I am not aware of any preexisting hole in the transmission large enough to install a useful heater.

If you're going to tear the tractor down to have a hole machined for a heater, you may as well just get the hydraulic problem fixed. It'd be cheaper.
