Farmall 706 LP tractor

How to get an Farmall 706 LP Tractor to start don't know anything about the tractor has been sitting in one of my fields for two years and the owner said i could have it it is propane powered so what are the steps to getting it started because i tried pulling the tractor but i cant get the Hydraulic lift up because this is the first tractor with Hydraulics i have ever owned and don't know how to work it so i need to get it started cause i could really use it to up my farming output and the tractor did run before the guy left it because it got stuck in a ditch and here are some pictures please help

thanks Martin

Order the manual. There is a place that sells all the IH manuals. I will email you the address. When I try to post it. The stystem stops it. I guess they are a competitor.

If was me, I would just leak out the moisture and if you get it going and back to your place and everything seems like its going to work, then go ahead and change everything (filters and oil). You would leak it out before you try anything just so it doesnt get mixed up again, and even if you dont get it started and pull it home, that moisture will still sort of mix. If you use the propane bottle to get it propane, here is an example how you might do it. The factory valve (liquid) losen the fitting, make sure the two valves are off, if my pitures came through, you can see on the bottle there is a series of fittings and a propane tube. hook the tube into the factory fittng on the tractor. You may need another fitting. I would think that you could get the fittings and tube for under $10. The bottle on my tractor is obviosly something added on but the same principle, the tube goes down to a regulator and then to the carb. I hope this might help, and be careful.

before i start it i need two parts the double hose in the pic and the upper rad hose and could you show a pic of how to hook the small tank to the system main like a step by step because i still dont get what you mean but get the idea just need to see it done thanks

Martin, all you are really doing is using the small tank instead of the tractors tank. the little diagram shows the fuel spply line(red) disconnected from the valve on the tractors tank(green) and then you have to match up fittings to connect the small tank(yellow) to the fuel line(red) that run straight down from the valve. I am assuming that the shut offs are as you look forward from the seat, thats the way it is on my 300LP. The double lines can prabably be replacated with some good hydrualic type lines and some good clamps, I believe those are low pressure return lines so you dont need the hyd. ends. Hope this helps and let us know

Use the hydraulic on the other tractor to raise the loader up. Then using 2 pieces of angle iron the same length, put 1 on each cylinder on the piston shaft so you can safety prop up the loader and release the pressure on the donor lift tractor. Use several hose clamps around the angle iron & piston to keep in place.

Then you can pull the 706 back to the house/shop/garage so it will be more convenient to work on, and if you drop something small it won"t get lost in the grass (don"t ask me how I know that).

Good luck. Edward
