I won't give you any specific recommendations, but here is what your tractors ask for.

The 706 wants a sulfated ash of not more than .5%. Above +32 30, below 32 10W.

The 766 does not specify an ash content. +32 30w, below 32 10w. The diesel may also use 15w40 above 15 degrees.

WD45 Allis? If so, that specifies 30w for temps 40-90. No ash content specified.

I guess I would compare the ash contents of the oils you are considering, but would stick with the 30w. Ash content is relatively low in most modern oils, but may not meet the .5% that your 706 wants. Whether an extra .1 or .2 is enough to worry about, that is your decision.
