Farmall 806 engine swap to....

[aggravated farmer]

Our 806's engine took a complete dump. Had the dealer pick it up and they never tried an engine conversion kit and wanted to so...

It now has a Cummins 5.9 with the turbo.

Makes 185 horsepower.

Neat job. Who paid for it ?

What engine/hp was it originally?

Long time forum members will recall I have a hate/hate relationship with IH tractors. But that looks pretty damn cool.

What work do you have the tractor do AF?

 

[aggravated farmer]

Well it's a general labor tractor on the farm. So the farm paid for it.

 

[aggravated farmer]

What engine/hp was it originally?

Horsepower was 90.

What a f#cking cheeky question.

What does general labour involve? Mowing hay, cultivation?

Spreading manure hauling silage wagons. I have a feeling we will be taking the cab off and finding some fenders. Turn it into a garaged tractor like our 1466

What tractor is your prime mover? Do you run all classics?

 

[Wellytrack]

Tough looking old tractor there, hope that extends her working life for you for decades to come...

And your clutch doesn't complain too much with all those extra torques!!

Still like a 2wd tractor, too few about now

Spent quite a few hours on a 1066 turbo back in the e80s , no cab or roll bar... What a beast that was on the road )

Well for around the farm we have the 706 and 450 on feed mixers. 200 for scraping barns. Super MTA is on the grinder. 1066 turbo is on the big manure spreader. The 504 just sits on the old mixer. Also have an H, super H, M, Super M, 686, 856, 1466 turbo.

Used to have another 1466, but traded it. Also had a 5088, traded that too.

For the big ones we run all case ih. 3588 (2+2), MX210, MX270, MX275

Also have a New Holland 1060 (unsure if I have the numbers right)

I assume he meant was it the dealer or the farmer

Pic' anywhere of the 1466 ???

The dealer knocked down the price a bit since they've never done an engine swap like this.

It still needs the fenders put back on after painting. Our neighbor is doing the job and it's taken him a long long time. How about after we get it back?

Lovely, or any pics of those 'over the pond' classic's appreciated.

I started sanding the front rims on the super h yesterday. Gonna do a little painting. Might post up a picture when I walk through the shop
