I see now the 706 isn't like the old M tractor and I made a big mistake of topping up the gear box with 4 gallons of 90 weight. Mechanic friend says drain all and fill with hy-tran. Another friend says just change the filter as it is still mostly hy-tran. I have 10 hours on the tractor since the mistake and the hydraulics work fine. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If I had done that would run it like it is. Will not make mush difference In the summer heat but in the winter it might
If I remember correctly that 706 holds 16-17 gallons of hydraulic oil. So 4 gallons of 90 weight would not make the entire volume of oil that much higher in viscosity. I would just run it for now. If you use the tractor a lot in the dead of winter then maybe change the hydraulic oil this fall. If not used much in cold weather I would just run it as-is.

I agree with the diesel. We always added a couple gallons diesel to the garbage trucks in the harsh Mn. winters.
