brahamfireman Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Bought this over memorial day weekend, Just had to have it for the collection. Went and picked it up today It's got what I'd consider a very odd combination of features. Best guess off serial number and WI historical society numbers is it was built within the last 100 806's for 1964. 806 gas, factory TA delete, factory 3 point delete, HD drawbar. HD 34" rears. As far as I can tell it's a factory fender delete, OR it had clamshells being a 64. It does have factory wiring to the 2 wire rear plug, and the rear light. Someone's been in the PTO, appears to have always had a PTO. Dual rear only hydraulics, no hoses ever ran to the steering column outlets. Plan is the same for all my gas tractors, open station with a narrow front and period correct fenders. I'll upload more pics later. Won't be able to tear it apart till Tuesday. Pics are from the listing and when I loaded it up today. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomorejohndeere Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 the cab door opens completely out of the way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I like it. Remove loader if you don’t need it, somebody will buy it. Remove cab, who knows, somebody might buy that too. Wide front end has value for sure, it looks good from here. That’s 6k here in NY. With fenders and narrow front….yee ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahamfireman Posted June 28 Author Share Posted June 28 Just a couple random pictures while moving dad's 806 diesel and my 806 gas around the yard yesterday. 806 gas is in the shop ready for saving from its ugliness, but not till tomorrow, been too busy all week. The camera effect makes those back wheels look crazy huge! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahamfireman Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 Snuck in a couple hours after chiropractor tonight. Probably wasted my time going to chiropractor because after 2 hours of wrestling a wide front and that loader I'm gunna have to go right back!!!!!! So worth it though. 11L-15's on the front, I like the look but need to be tucked in a bit narrower, gunna have to find different rims. Cab will come off tomorrow. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first looked at that tractor, I thought the cab was pud ugly. With the loader gone & the NF on there, that looks pretty sharp! What's on the jail bars on the front? Electrical tape.

It'll most likely get a good used 1 from the junk yard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marketing didn't like that you could see over the valve cover from the side. The 806 is taller than a 706 so they made the big valve cover so it didn't look like a small motor in a big tractor.
