What i should have said is that you run the low ash 30 weight oil the proper octane gas keep the engine in tune and that tractor will do everything it was made to do for years to come . And if you ran my one buddys 706 i am sure it would empress you as it still empresses me every time i run it . when i rebuilt that one i went the extra mile on the rebuild . We did not just do a rebuild we BUILT that one with a line bore had the cam rebuilt and blue printed we did a total balance job on all rotating parts decked the block recut the countor bore set sleeve hight to the letter C/Ced the head fit each piston to each hole along with the rings did a slight recurve on the advance of the dist reworked the governor slight mods to the carb and the end results are it flat up and runs and it has been 8 years now since the rebuild and the only problem we have had is when the one fuel supplier brought the wrong gas and he never told us and it ate a piston and i had to put one new piston in it , they paid the bill and as for the fuel use of a 706 gasser when they are tuned correctly i do not feel that they are bad at all . Yes they will burn gas but stop and think just how much gas your pick up would burn in say eight hours if you were working it pulling a trailer with a load on it runing the same rpm sure you may cover more miles as far as ground speed but if you took that pick up engine and put it in a tractor turning the same rpm and covering the same ground you would find out that the pick up engine would use twice the fuel real fast

George bought his Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00. There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken by Harold alone to bring it up to show standard.
