I know nothing about this 806---help

My dad left me his 806. I'm his daughter and I wasn't really interested in learning about the tractor growning up. Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase a manual? I just thought this would help me learning how to run this thing. I do know it is in working order. My dad used it often before he passed. Thanks!

The Case IH dealer can get a manual, or someplace like E-bay could also get you one.

I have no idea where you live, but is there a neighboring farmer that might help?

The 806 is one of the best tractors ever made....Good Luck with it.

This site has them. Look at the left hand column.
Good luck with the 806 I sure liked mine.

he must have really loved you, the 806 is a great tractor. You should be able to find manuals from several places, the previous suggestions are good starting points, you can always type 806 manual in your favorite web search and have more choices. Enjoy it!

Welcome to the forum. YT has users and restorers and tons of resources for supporting your relationship with one of the most respected and desirable IH tractors. The parts and manuals are available right here. Jim

ditto to the others on the 806 being one of the best tractors out there. Well, I guess I should say in my opinion. Got 3 of em. manuals show up on ebay fairly often, also your case-ih dealer, also Binder Books (do a google search).

there's lots of good advice to be had on this forum. there are a few things about 806s that do tend to need attention from time to time, like adjusting the clutch, dump valve, and transmission brake linkage. search the archives on this site; there's lots of good info there.

best of luck with your new tractor!

Of all the tractors we have dad likes his H best then my 806 it runs flawlessly. It is one of the best tractors made as already said. If you have questions just ask away. I don't think in the 35 years I have owned mine there is much I haven't done to it. Yours will be running when the new ones are in the junk and gone if you will maintain it.

ckperson, Welcome to YT. Well as You have figured out, You are in Possession of a very large Memento of you Dads, Un-like a Watch or a Pocket Knife, Both very nice items of ones Dad to have and to hold. It can't be stored away in a drawer or Jewelry box. It is Red, very large, and weighs roughly 10,000lbs. No, you can't really hold it in the palm of your hand like a Pocket Knife or a Watch and Think of Your Dad.
But Sit in the Seat, and Listen to that Big Engine Scream at high Idle... while driving down the road, or Shredding weeds in a pasture or plowing a field.... Hear your Dad "Retell" You the Important things he said..... or just feel close to him now that he is gone! It is a Strange thing, Here ,where Tractors.....No matter the Color, size, Make connect us to our past, Mom, Dad, G-mother, G-Dad....Tractors Rule!
Yes as others have said and I will say again, Your Local Case-IH Dealer can get most any part needed, or the multitude of tractor wrecking yard can locate parts too, as far as Manuel s they have them, or at Tractor Supply there is a rack of Tractor manuels too. Something to get started with!
The 806 is Truly one of IHs best tractors ever made It was IHs first 100 hp tractor it was meant to compete against the John Deere 4010.And it Did Very Well!!! It has stood the test of time, wear, weather,,,,Kinda like a Timex watch....Takes a Lick-in and keeps on Tick-in!
The Folks here on YT have a vast Volumes of Knowledge of yrs of Running, Working on, Servicing, Painting,,, You name it. So post up Your questions Here for specific IH tractor question or a more general question on Tractor Talk!. As you read you will gain more and more knowledge that will make your Ownership of your Dads 806 and enjoyable experience.
Also,
There are not many weeks that go by that someone is trying to locate a specific family tractor that Dad or G-Dad had and sold at a farm sale many yrs ago, don't sell it, You will regret it at some point.
Hope this helps,
Later,
John A.

Best print is in the manuals at binder books dot com--operators, parts, and several service manuals.
