I have seen a kit for 706 shift kit advertised as helping the 706 shift easier. I think mainly to reverse. What does this involve to make the change?

Wayne If you are talking a bout a kit from IH there never was one. But the 06's were changed over to 56 shift which was much better. Back in the 60's someone put together a list of parts one could buy to mahe the change over. It did take some work because the right hand steering suport had to have some grinding done to it to get things to fit. As for the part if the old one was hept in good shape and adjusted right they will hold, you cna't adjust as the book said, they have to be adjusted so it will not engage unless the park tooth is in the gear not on top and then a little pressure on the handle to get over center. I would put in the new spring loaded one but would still adjust as I said for the old one.

I had a 706 Wheatland Diesel new in the fall of 1963. I think the serial # was in the 570 range, very early. This tractor did not shift good at all, it would lock up on the 1 2 3 4, and reverse was impossible without grinding it in. The change over was the cam set up on the top of the tranny, complete with rollers. I did not see mine get changed but it was done in the yard by the company "blockman" (in those days) out of the depot in Regina, Sk.

I've seen that same ad for years, but nobody can ever seem to tell me what it comes with or what it does. Really, 706 shifting can be made like new using factory parts. Just gotta start at the ends of the levers and work your way down to underneath the range transmssion cover, replacing any worn part and eliminating all of the slop. When you're done, replace the transmission brake pad and adjust the clutch pedal, dump valve, TA, shift lever, park lock, and trans brake linkages by the book to the letter. Proper operation goes a long way, too. Remember, the Range gears (HI, LO, R) should not be shifted on the move no matter what. The transmission brake engages when the clutch pedal is pushed all of the way down and stops the speed trans (1, 2, 3, 4) from turning, making it possible to shift without grinding. To save the trans brake pad from wear, try not to push the clutch pedal all of the way down unless the tractor has come to a stop. Push it down 3/4 of the way and stop the tractor with the brakes. Then push the pedal all of the way down, wait a second, and make your shift. The speed gears can be shifted on the move somewhat, without engaging the trans brake, but I only like to do that when shifting from HI 3 to HI 4.
