Used to put a lot of them on the 06&66 series. Most of them were in the sandhills with loaders & dozers on the tractors. Need to be sure the front & rear tire sizes match. Need to keep all the grease zerks greased regularly.Drive rings are under the big round cover. Pivot brg. zerks are behind the rubber boot on the back side of the wheel, hard to get at. Jack it up & see if there is any slack in the pivot brgs. Were prone to break high priced drive rings or axles if you back up out of a hole with a load in the loader bucket. Axle seals are inside the diff houseing. Have to pull the axles & drop the diff unit to change them. Very prone to leaking if the drive ring bushings & pins get worn. Parts were very high priced & hard to find a few years back. The best one we had out was on an 806 that was just used for farm work. That being said check it over for wear & leaking axle seals ect.

Do you have pictures posted anywhere? That's got to be one snazzy looking tractor.
