Grew up on a diesel 706, dad just sold it 2 years ago. He had that tractor for at least 45+ years. Used that tractor for grinding feed, planting, cultivating, "go-digging", discing, baling, etc... I probably spent more time on that tractor than any one vehicle we had. Was sad to see it go. The shifting on most of the IH's left a lot to be desired. Also realize you have an old tractor on your hands and how well was it treated? As long as you take your time and not force your shift levers, try to make sure there is not a bunch of play in the shifting. I believe I've read here that the shifting can be updated to the '56 series. Cannot say anything about the gas engines, I do know the German diesel engine (Nuess sp?) was sure a solid performer. Never had any big major problems with it. Wished I could have restored it, but I've got a 756 German diesel so I can still enjoy that with better shifting. Actually use it on my disc mower and rake, and did use it some on a 5 X 6 round baler. I'm an IH man to begin with so I would have a difficult time passing up a "Diesel" 706.

Beginning production in 1953, the WD45 had the same general look as the WD tractor which was produced earlier - but was much more powerful. This was due to the new 4-cylinder "Power Crater" gasoline engine with a 4 x 4-1/2 inch bore and stroke. Some people feel this was one of the most significant tractors offered by Allis-Chalmers in those days. Nothing in its weight or power class could match its performance. In 1954 they began offering the WD45 with the new "Snap-Coupler&quo
