If you are looking for a 90hp tractor and don't mind noise then buy it!!! With those kind of hours the engine is just BARELY getting broke in. We had an 806 with 25,000 hours, overhauled at 12,000 hours. Original TA still worked and on the second clutch. Rearend and tranny never touched. You can crank them up to about 110 to 115 horse power. After that all you get is more black smoke. Also, after turning them up, be sure to keep the fan belt tight and the radiator full - we overheated ours a few times.

I emailed the guy earlier, it is a diesel and he just put a new battery or batteries in it too. Ours started pretty good, below 40 degrees took a shot of ether and below 20 you better plug it in. Ours was the standard, no adjustment to the rear tread, but I believe the front axle may have been adjustable. We had a loader on ours for a while until the shifting got sloppy. Adjusting the linkage would have fixed it, but we would have had to take the cab off to get the hood panel off.

Anyways, email me if you have any specific questions. Wish we had the old girl back, I loved that tractor, so trouble free.
