First off it will only burn that plowing or choppen For chore work 1.5 to 3.5 is the norm . Now if ya want that tractor to run like it should then ya have to know how to tune it correctly . and YOU MUST RUN THE CORRECT GAS IN IT . All the I H tractors built back in the sixtys and seventys ran nothing LESS the 93 octane , now today that is HIGH TEST but back then that was reg . gas as hightest was 105 . If ya keep the valves adjusted the dist. is working like it is suppose to ya run a good plug and we are not talking champions here . and you set the ing. timing BY THE BOOK WITH NO PLUS OR Mins. the carb is in good working order you use 30 weight low ash engine oil keep the air filter clean they will do everything you ask of them and more. For a small hobby farmer they make a great BIG tractor and for a big farmer they make for a super chore tractor that will start way down below 0 . Over the years i have bought and sold somany 706 gassers along with useing them for my hobby farming that i have lost count , my close friends have 706 gasser that they bought from me and use them everyday. Just gave a tune up to the one this evening and now it is ready for winter as that is the tractor that gets used all winter for grinding feed feeding the cows plowing the snow as it always starts nomatter the weather. no pluging it in no either just pull the choke out turn the key push the button and it is running weather it be 100 degrees or -40 it starts .
