Farmall 806 Dyno Test

I overhauled this nice 806 and this is part of the break in procedure on the dyno. This is the first hard pull to 115 HP. The tractor has an aftermarket M&W Turbo.

wishing I could have had video coverage of the '65 806D we put together at Cobleskill Ag and Tech in 1975 or so. The turbo was from a 301 ci AC marine engine. Had the original RD pump and at 7% increase on fuel she went from 90 to 129 HP. The pump gave torque rise close to Cummins. The straight exhaust was a pleasant shhhhhh! When we reset the valve protrusion to latest set of numbers she would start at -20F with no assistance. added a gallon of oil to the base capacity plus cooler ran at 185max

Are the 806D and the 1206 basically the same tractor? I know the 806D was none turbo from the factory. Do both tractors have the same rearend, transmission and final drives? Thanks for any info.

[FarmallDoctor]

The 1206 is heavier in all aspects.

@FarmallDoctor there is nothing better than  the sound of a red engine singing under load

If it ain't Red, just leave it in the shed :-)

I grew up on a 1969 806D with after market turbo it dyno numbers where 125hp. I only seen one 1206 in my life and it did look a little bigger however we matched its power. A 1066 would walk away from either tractor, we had one. I got to watch my Dad leave me while we were both pulling 5-16 plows or 10 ft chisel plows.
