And NO you can not have mine . After all the 806's that i have bought i have one and i finally figured out how to hang onto one . I would go to sales and if one showed up i usually brought it home with me , I would get it in the shop and first thing was to strip all the sheet metal off and give it a three or four hour hot water with lots of soap and a good risen then i would fix replace anything that needed fixed or replaced . Maybe a new clutch and T/A engine rebuild what ever it took then a really nice paint job new seat decals if the tires were less the fifty % then it got four new tires as this one was going to be MINE , ya wright it was mine till someone saw it and they would ask the big question HOW MUCH . And i would grab and off wall figure out of thin air and usually high but they still would buy it and i was back to looking again . And like always i would find another and do it all over again. Well i had this one that i really did a super job on and some guy came into the shop one day and asked about the 806 setting out ft. , Told him it was mine , how much ?? It is NOT for sale , Well what would you take for it IT IS NOT FOR SALE Well what do you want for it . Kept trying to tell him that i did not want to sell it . But he kept on and here i go again i grabbed a number out of thin air and said 8750 and i got a OH and he turned and walked out the door , as i was chucklen to myself thinking i showed him . Twenty min. maybe a half hour went by and here he comes again and says how do you want the check made out . Yep sold it . Then i found the one i still have . The secret to keeping one is don't give it a bath , don't paint it make sure it is so ugly that NOBODY even looks at it and that one you can keep . Yep i fixed everything that it needed and it runs great has the most pony power of all that i have had . It was also the same with the 706's as a normal week for me was i would buy noless then two a week sometimes six to eight and i would sell them just about as fast.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
