Hi my name is Devin Winter and I am from southern Minnesota and I am new to this forum. I am working on a 706 at school right now and the customer wants to have the shifting switched from 706 to 756 series shift. We have looked at a couple ag salvage yards to see if they have a "kit" for this and they usually do and would be about $750 but no one actually had any left. So I was just wondering if anyone on here knew of places near southern Minnesota that would have this conversion "kit". If anyone is able to assist me at all that would be awesome! I really need this tractor done in a week or two so the faster you could help the better! Thanks ahead of time!
 
I've converted 3-4 of them.A '7' is 2" shorter in hieght than all the others,so only another '7' will 'fit'.My own personal 706 has a 'kit' from a 1256.Used a 1066/856 for others.Also put a 1066 into a 1206.That was a direct bolt up.All you have to do is shorten the upright 'rods' 2". then thak the cast steering support and grind out the 'hollow' that the range upright sits against.Really 'hog' it out. Just toss it in the ground and grind away with your 9" anglehead.Then cut out the 'window' for the park lock cam.I am currently makeing up a 'kit' from a larger tractor to be installed in a '7'.Those parts are comeing from Kansas,I will ship back.The adapting of parts takes less than 2 hrs.Call me if you have questions.

In addition to the external linkage you also need the range transmission cover with linkage and the high/low shift fork.

Parts from an 856 and up should also work but you will need to cut off the vertical shift linkage shaft and re-drill the hole for the lower arm.
 
I might be able to help. I think I have a kit from a 756, I'll check in the morning. My number is 507 438-8172 I'm located in Southern MN. give me a call.
