There was not a lot of R & D went into those IH 6 cylinder gassers. Certainly not the caliber of engine as the old pre 1958 4 cylinder gassers. These 6 cylinder engines were little more than modified truck engines. My bet the 706 is probably closer to rebuild time than the 756. 756 has the iron clad German Diesel, well maintained they'll run 20,000 hours.
Do you just like to hear yourself talk or do you actually believe what you just posted?
Tell you what, since that 706 is such a piece of useless junk to you and everyone in general, I will go and get it. I wouldn't want any innocent farmers to be injured with it.
I will GLADLY purchase that tractor at that price and make the trip from Florida to get it. Unlike Hugh there, I have actually used a tractor like that and know what its capable of. Heck, I need a new riding lawn mower any way, I just hope that junky old 706 will handle a finish mower without blowing up under the load.
