I have an early Farmall 806 diesel with around 6000 hours and really good (but faded) original paint. Runs great, and I could continue to use it for loader/PTO work as-is.
To put it back in tip-top field ready state, it needs a new TA (and while it is apart, I"d get the clutch and hydraulic pump done at the same time). In addition, it is time for new tires all around. To get it right, I"d need to spend around $6500.
If I fix it, I"ll have way more in it than I"d ever hope to recoup.
Rather than dump more money into this beast, might I be better off selling it and putting the money toward a better, newer machine? For example, a neighbor has a 1456 that he sell me for around what I need to put in the 806.
