Eason Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The article stated that the 806 #1 was restored by Frank Tomac, but I thought Ken Updike restored it and sold it to Richard (his last name escapes me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmall Doctor Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 A local elderly farmer who likes machinery trivia one asked "do you know what the first 806 was?" I said yep, narrow front gasser...

234-IA Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Isn't the first diesel 806 owned by Kent Borghoff, one of the writers of the "IH Product History" book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_reaper Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 502 was owned by Bill Borgoff and Larry Eppers, Bill passed away a few years ago, and 501 was owned by Ken and restored, then sold to Richard Lantis. Frank bid on the tractor at that last auction but I don't remember off hand who ended up buying it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
