I'd be inclined to run it like it is unless the clutch is slipping and the hydraulics are shot completely.
My expereince has been that on major reworks I spend more than a good newer tractor could be had for. For example, a good used 7610 Ford series II with 3800 hours sold here out of the city motor pool for 7500. If your tractor is worth 4000 like it is and you put 6500 in it thats nearly 11,000 toward a newer tractor. The 806 could need an engine, injector pump, anything in the very near future.
When I start a project I always try to calculate what the tractor will part out for. If I can fix it for what the components are worth, or when I get to 500 over what it will part I break it up. It took me 3 times to learn that buying a tractor for 5000 and putting 5000 in it still left me with at best a 5500-6000 tractor. Just not my kind of economics when good late model tractors that dont need a bunch of stuff can be had in the 10,000 range.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
