I've been changing the water pump on the 806 lately, and that project sure snowballed. It has leaked the last few winters, so it's time to change it. Well, I had to take radiator off to change it. Put it back together, and radiator leaks. It Never leaked before! Although, I bought some cooling system cleaner at my IH dealer, maybe cleaning it wrecked it. If that's the case, it was going to leak soon anyway. So, I had to have the radiator re-cored. In process of tearing it apart, I found the air intake hose that goes over the radiator was pinched almost shut, and it was too old and hard to flex back into shape. So, I bought both new intake hoses. Boy, the tractor sounds different now! The air sucking sound through the front of the tractor is much louder. It was really noticeable while cranking it to start it. I must have been starving that engine for air and never knew it! The little dust unloader boot on the air cleaner was sucked up into the air filter, too. Now I'm curious to see if it's got more power. It's just amazing what you'll find on a piece of machinery that you have been using and thought everything was fine with! Sad part is I don't know how many times I've been under that hood in almost 6 years of owning that tractor, and never saw that hose pinched like it was.
