In 72 I was working for a guy in Marshalltown. After the heavy spring work was done he traded an 806 for a new 966. All it did that year was rake and haul hay, cultivate at half throttle and then haul grain in the fall. In the spring of 73 when we put it to work, it was using twice the oil that the old 806 had. He complained to the dealer. Their solution was to hook it up on the dyno, cover part of the radiator so it was running about 220 degrees and work the snot out of it for 24 hours.
