We used to pull a 4-16 moldboard plow with a new or several year old Farmall gas 706. I couldn't believe how hard we worked that tractor. I was only about 11 when we got the first one, so the first things I used it for were disking and harrowing. The first time I got to plow was the first time I ever ran something that did not run full throttle. Dad told me to run it in low 4 and we should have probably run it a gear lower. I think it was running about 1800 rpm or a little less. It had 16.9 x 34 tires on it. I found out later that the tire size made a difference in speed. The speed chart by your feet, said the speeds were with 18.4 tires. I don't know whether they were 34 or 38 on the chart. I figured out later that the 18.4 tires were probably for an 806 and IHC was cheap and didn't put an appropriate decal on the tractor according to what the tire size was installed on them. If I remember running it at that load (the worst example) we only got about 3000 hours before a complete overhaul was expected. We were farming about 400 acres and probably plowing about 250.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
