I"m looking to purchase a IH 706 gas, 1972. Is there anything anyone can tell me good or bad about this tractor.

I have two 706 tractors. One is a 263 and the other is a 291. I have used regular gas for years 87 octane. I have had no problems. I do use the low ash IH oil.

We had an early (1967) 756 gas that we ran for years on regular gas-what 87 octane. It was easy on gas til gas got over $1/gal. I'd hate to feed it at today's prices. I've got an excelent 656 gas that just sits in the shed. I spend days on a lesser tractor just cause it uses diesel!

I can see that you never read the manual on a C291 gas engine and the same applys to the C263 gas engine they requier minium of 93 and running the 87 is hurting that engine in ways you do not see till it is to late and ya start diggen in the piggy bank for parts money . I think that i know a littel more then you on these tractors as we have run and still run a 706 gasser everyday and when tuned properly and fed the correct fuel even worken it on 4x16 all day she will burn between 4 and 5 gallon and hour , put the 806 on the same plow and it will burn 5-5.5 gal and hour . When winter sets in around here the diesels get parked and the 706 is run everyday feeding or grinding feed as it will start no matter the temp . no plugen in no starting fluid . On first cutting this year we mowed and raked two times plus moved all the round bales on 28 acres on 35 gallon of gas SOOooooo they are not that bad on fuel even if ya have to pay three bucks a gallon ya just have to get use to the fact that the days of getting 95 octain reg gas for 24 cents a gallon . And we can buy lots of gas for the old gasser that is paid for over the price of a new pice of junk that is built across the pond that will use a gallon or so less.

They were made from 1963-1967. The 66-67 models in my HMO were the best but even the earlie ones were good . The only thing to keep in mind here is this tractor requires prem. gas nothing less then 93 octain and one would want to make sure that the T/A is good . If ya do not understand tractors then it is wise to take a good mechanic with ya to give it a look over . Ya don't want to pay top dollar and end up putting that much more into it to make it a good tractor.

They started off with the same engines as a 560: 263G & 282D.

They ended with 291G & 310D.

So would a 560 do the same job as your 760 with even less fuel?

Which were the best engines of the 4?

They didn't make 706's that late. 1964 or 65 was the last year built. If you work them, the gassers will guzzle fuel.

reg farm gas which the guy wont deliver no less then 90 octaine last fryday the price was 3.39 at the pump in town so you can nock off 20 cents a gall if you buy more then 250(15 cent off on less then then 250 gallons),but this weeekend gas dipped back dow to 2.99 in many spots. I dont kow how much supply he has before he chages his farm prices usually yhe next morning. im glad i bought 300 gallons at 2.69 when you think it coukd be 3.19 fo off road use. the price will fall after the busy season is over. plus if it is a late winter and warm fall there will be more fuel on hand and that causes prices to go down. now if i had only 1 tractor that needed prem gas and the 90 isent good enough i wols just add octain boost to the needed tractor rather then rnning all thst expensive 93 thru the ones that dint need it. i know in town at his ittle store his 93 octain is 25-35 cents per gallon higher. I highly douby he would charge 35 cents more then his regular farm gas which he only brings 90 octain for ame price as 87. 90 octine is over kil on alot of my old tractors. i bet he would charge 10-15 cents more for 93 or 94 prem they have. It is all shell gasoline and it is supposed o keep gunk out of your engine, i know for no 2 dieel to amaco premtire diesel it cost 6 cents more so that is all i run. 300 gallons of gas runs me about 4 months (4 gassers and a mower and boat. but i refuse to pay 270 fot gas in the lake. hr has a 800 gallon barrel and his pump will only go to 1.99 to he says peice is double what it sasy i thik the price was set at 1.80 so it would really be double that so it comes to 3.60 for 93 prem.
