| Those are some fine looking Farmalls, Tractor Vet!! Say, is your 706 a 263 or have you overhauled it and made it into a 291?? I have a 1965...263 original engine. How much difference would a 291 make? Mine simply flies with a 14 ft heavy Bush Hog disc...can pull it in high 2nd if you can stay on the tractor..thanks, Cmore |

| The 706 is a 65 and it is changed over to the 291Ans THERE is a day and night difference between the 263 and 291 . But i went the extra mile on this one as it has been balanced the cam was rebuilt the head was C/Ced and light porting of the head. When you go to the up grade you have to change the advance curve of the dist. and ya have to fatten up the carb or find a dist out of a 291 along with the carb. BUT OH YEA there is a big difference in performance . |

| I have run both. It's like comparing a 327 Chevy to a 350. Just not much difference and not enough to justify an engine swap. |

| Nice pictures. Quick question, does it matter if you run the rims on the inner bevel vs. the outer bevel on the rim? Thanks |

| Great pics! Two fine-looking tractors. I've spent much time in the seats of a 1066 black stripe and a 706 gas. Good to see your workhorses. |

| They sure aren't trailer queens . They work for a living and they run like new only better . The 1066 was one of my not so proud buys and to get it in the shape it is in now i had every nut and bolt out of it and every part of it layen on the shop floor . The 706 is the one giving me fits at this time . |

| Trailer queen tractors are boring. Ya can sit around and look at them. I'll ride one in the field anytime over that. Great pics, stay safe, don't shut them down at the brim of hill with those power brakes. Learned that lesson the hard way on a 706 when eleven years old. That was not a fun ride. |

| Ah Louie is not that big he only weights in a 126 . we had one a lot bigger then that as he was a Husky Great Dane mix, Now Rocky was a BIG dog if he stood up on his hind legs and but his ft. paws on your shoulders he would look down on you and i am 6 foot and he weighed in at 147 . He stood 32 inches at his back . And the nice thing about him was you did not have to bend over to pet his head. He did wonders for door to door sales people and anyone that did not know was behind the door to that house . Louie was saved from the not so Humane shelter here i just brought him home . |
