We have posted pictures of our 706 back half in hopes that there will be somebody on here that has the same type rear end assy that we have so we can add a 3 point.We've searched the internet looking for a 3 pt unit or at least photographs (closeup) so we can determine how difficult it would be for us to manufacture an exact duplicate of the 3 point.
For us to duplicate one is within our capabilities to do so.What we need is plans(pictures,with measurements) or to save ourself trouble of manufacturing one would be to have a manufacturer that can produce a 3 point for a 706.Nowhere on the internet(that we found)lists manufacturers for 3 points for the 706.Where do we go from here? We're not quitters and won't give up.We haven't on any project thru the towel in on any project we under taken.Not about to start.Just need some help
Regards,
LOU
 
If you guys could post some pictures it would go a long way to help us help you.not sure what yoy have....fast hitch(2 point);3point delete(a wheatland model?);a prior owner has removed the 3point arms????I have 6 IH tractors with 3 points,but no 2 pieces of 3point implements have the sane'measurements',so quickhitch would be worthless..something to think about.
 
Lou,found your pics,you have a wheatland model/3point delete.you would well advised to buy a junked tractor and switch the parts,as your tractor has no 3point pparts at all(valveing,cylinder,rockshaft,tortion bar,plus all the 'hitch parts'.other wise you will have to settle for a aftermarket/addon(like they put on the 'M')these can be found at Stiener,TSC,nnalert,lots of sources.the cost will be around $1000.
 
Lou will this help ? Its a PDF for a replacement 3ph. scroll down there is a replacement for the 706 on the right column .

Musta hid the pictures well, I was going to post them here for them, but I couldn't find them in the usual places. ;)

Be careful there - as I read the deal, those on the right side are to convert a 2pt Fasthitch to a 3pt hitch??? They have neither on their tractor now????

Deltared Sorry Pictures were on the other post.

I don't think you are going to find an aftermarket 3 pt or make a factory type 3 point to go on your tractor. You will likely need to find a factory 3 pt off of a junkyard 706 to bolt onto your tractor. Those hitches are far more complex that the aftermarket/fabricated hitches that guys put on H's and M's.

Old ROY. HOORAY. YOU did the deed.!!! Just what we were looking for. will call for pricing and if it is way beyond our means with the other projects we have going, we'll wait and budget it out , but in the mean time, we will just have to make due with what we have on hand. I want to thank you for your search and post. Warmest regards. LOU.
 
Ben. Thanks for the post and thanks for your time to reply.Looks like Old Roy found us a solution . Thanks. Regards LOU.

get a HO to do your garden.......

I mean get a hoe and do your garden :roll:
I got this picture of you two finding a tractor in the junkyard for the 3pt hitch and just fixing the whole tractor and having a double dose of ugly.....

Wanna bet???
 
DeltaRed. Hope we have the problem solved with the information we got from Old Roy. Gonna call the company and explain what we have and don't have. Just needed a direction to turn to for the 3 point. As we explained, were not farming with the tractor, but would use it for our gardens as well as pulling our hay wagon for fire wood. We truly do APPRECIATE ALL your trouble in taking the time to help us. Regards .LOU& VICTOR.
 
Dave. What do ya want to go there for?lol/I don't consider anything JUNK until Were done with it, then it is JUNK of the first order. Going to a salvage yard makes my brain go in whirls, wondering just how I could re-work em and make em all UGLY AGAIN. Love your humor though. You are being humerus,ain't ya???????????
LOU.
 
You don't any of the workings on the inside of the tractor to put a 3 point hitch on it, also with that make shift cab there is not room for it to work up and down. Your only two choices are complete assembly from a salvage yard, I know it's hard on your brain, and very expensive, or fabricate one with a cylinder like an earlier model tractor has from an after market supplier. Either way they would have to clear that cab.

The aftermarket hitch like goes on a M Farmall would be your best bet as you have no lift arms now to use the other style but the M style hitch would use your remote hydraulic lines.
 
Lou, that Tisco type of unit won't help you because you don't have the lift cylinder or control and I can't imagine you building that. You should be able to get a used one from a salvage yard that would mount on your rear end. But please consider this: Three point implements are a PIA! they were great for the 30 HP tractors but the ones for bigger tractors are time consuming to hook up, and a cab makes it that much more difficult. older hydraulic trailing implements are not expensive, and literally hook up in seconds.
 
Saginaw Hitch.
I posted a link here a week or two ago on the various three point specs such as distance from the pto etc.
 
O.K. finally got to look at the photos. You have to viable options.. Go to a salvage yard and find a donor tractor. You need to tell them you need the back tns cover with the rocker lift cross shaft and all related parts. Now don,t get excited and pay big bucks. The guy that has that is not going to have a bunch of customers for the parts you need. May take a little jawing but you can get what you need for less than a grand at some salvage yard. If you can,t let me know ..
Second option find an M or super m that some one has added 3 point and I am thinking maybe even a ih 400. Most of that type used an external lift system that you could use your already in place hydraulics. You might have to tweek the hitch but basacily works back to your axel housing.
Don,t know that we can get you going by spring but that is probably a little farther away up north so you might have 8 / 10 weeks. Lets get started. O just a word of warning if you get the 3 point you are going to need heavy implments. That old ih will tear up these implments made for the 8 n ford. Ha... Jerry
 
LOU,
I have some of the parts that you need. These are factory parts from a 966. I have the rear frame cover with the lift cylinder. I dont remember if the remote hydraulic valve is there or not but yours from the 706 would work anyway.I have the rockshaft arms, the draft sensing torsion bar,the draft sensing arm assy. I think I also have the top link bracket. I do not have the other external parts needed.
If interested e-mail for more details.I am located in south central Michigan.

Tractors not a Wheatland,just a standard NF 706 with a IHC standard drawbar such as the H-M and yes the W series had, Most 706's I've seen from the 1960's had a 2 point Fast Hitch but some came with a standard drawbar.I'll admit I don't know if 706's came with a opt. 3 point hitch or not,I do know IHC really pushed their design of the Fast Hitch.
 
Why not find a good 966 and buy it. It's a much better tractor, sips diesel and has the three point.

Gordo
 
I have two 706 tractors,one with fast hitch which is diesel,one which has 3 pt which is gas .their are not as painted up as yours.the fast hitch does have a 3 pt adapter on it also.Not sure which way you want to go.i really don't need the fast hitch. iam in south east wi,if taking a look is a plan . steve
 
Gordo. To tell the truth, If we were farmers with a lot of ground to work, a second tractor would be in line.We got the 706 with just pulling a wagon was the plan. Wood is necessary for our heat source. Called around to the mfg that Old Roy gave us and they did list em buttttttttt no longer mfg em. I guess the aftermarket hitch caused so much stress ,it would tear up the 3 point off. Can't see buying another tractor just to do our garden plots here at home. Way to much expense for us. Some one suggested we look for a disc to pull behind our 706 (draw bar )hook up. Found one real close by.less then 40 miles away. Farmer is going to sell it because it's to small for his operation. Want's what we can afford at this time.Gonna look at it tomorrow (8 ft disc) one chipped blade or so he says. Gonna LOOK before we leap.Son says it will do the gardens(weight added to disc) should be o.K.if we do get it. We will post the results here. I personally want to thank each and every one here that responded to our needs .to a fellow tractor owner who doesn't farm and knows squat about what's -what when it comes to equiptment needing a 3 point hitch.There are other options on this post we will be looking into if this falls through. Warmest regards, LOU.
 
Steve,
Thank you for your offer, and if the disc this guy has doesn't work out we will be in touch.I REALLY appreciate your offer and your reply in helping out someone who doesn't know.Thannks again.
LOU
 
jm,
We called our local salvage yard in Downing,and he said he had all the parts for it,but the cost of the used parts would be between $15-2000.00.So, we could buy another tractor for that with a 3 pt.LOL.Victor looked on Craigslist and a farmer just posted a 8'disc,close to us,so maybe it will work out by using just the drawbar hitch.We really appreciate you taking the time to post the different options and what we have to do to get a 3pt.Hopefully with the 8'disc,we wont tear the hitch off of the disc and have a lawn ornament.LOL
Thanks again.
Regards,
LOU
 
Buickandeere,We looked at it and because of the cab and other brackets on the axle,it looks like we have no room for this type hitch.Thanks anyway,
Regards,
LOU
 
MI bill G,
Michigan is a little too far for us, and by what we been told we would need the whole enchilada to hook it up right.We really appreciate the offer and the time it took for you to reply.
Regards,
LOU
 
Showcrop, We are finding all that out, it's disappointing but, we got what we got.Basically the tractor is needed for pulling a wood wagon,pushing snow etc.But figured that with the garden season coming up,why not use it for tilling the area.Shoveling the dirt to turn it, gets old quick.LOL. Palms look like alligator hide by the time you finish,with all the blisters.So maybe that's why the 3 point equipment is so cheap here,no one uses them anymore?Thanks for the reply and your time.
Regards,
LOU
 
TPH for over 30 hp tractors are a PITA, time-consuming? Can"t imagine how much I"ve been doing wrong, farming full-time that way for almost 40 years, with everything from 4-6 bottom plows, FC to 20 feet, applicators over 30 feet. Everything pull-type is a dead pull, no weight transfer to increase tillage traction, increase efficiency. Fully mounted, with a quick-hitch, I can hook to those machines without leaving the cab...back in, raise, reach out the back window to close latches- semi-mount is one trip to hook up 1-2 hoses.
 
Well It would be just as cheap as others said to buy the pull implements you need as it will be to rig up a 3pt.
If your set on doing this, the top center link can be bolted on right where that plate is above the PTO. Those 6 bolts are right where the factory one mounts. It will make your job much easier that way.
 
He will have it as they say "Till H**l frezes over. Not many people looking for that stuff. If he breaks it up and sell ever bit he might come out but I still think $ 800.00 would be a big price for the whole enchalita.. as you say ..but it is his so he can ask what he wants..
