706 German Diesel

I just recently purchased my first diesel tractor with a wide front at a auction for what I consider at a good price of $5,300. Everything appears to be in good working order except for the brakes that will need some attention. This tractor is going to be retired into my collection and only used for parades, tractor shows and the occasional plow day activities. The tractor is a 1967 Farmall 706 German Diesel. My question is what things about this tractor do I need to be awear of and how much is involved in repairing the brakes. Believe it or not I finally decided to joint the 21st. century with this new computer and retired my chisle & stone tablet. As soon as I learn more about the computer world I'll list my URL# and post a picture of my 706 and 1957 Farmall 350 gas tractor. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
 
If I were you I would replace all the hoses. Change the oil in the transmission and Bull gear housings, and engine along with replacing all filters. The first thing to do is go to a dealer or a farm store and buy a service manual.I have a 706 and a 756 both with the 310 engine and I like the engine. My 706 is a 1967 and the 756 is a 1968. I haven"t farmed since 1997 and didn"t use the 706 that much since I only bought it in 1996, but still use it some because it has a loader on it. I farmed with the 756 for about 15 years, before I quit.
 
Hello,
The first thing you must do is buy a repair manual for the tractor. It makes working on your tractor much simpler and it is the cheapest part you will buy. The brakes are not very hard to do, a few things to look out for is the long 3/8 bolt on the floor board they brake easy if you hit it with a hammer hard staight down it will help. If you are going to work on the brakes plan on replacing the piston seals and bull pinoin shaft seals and checking the bearing preload. Make shure the brake housings on top are clean before you take it apart.
Good Luck Ed

I have a running replacement engine (complete, except starter) for your tractor. Hope you never need it, but if you do let me know. Located in Rochelle, Illinois. Good Luck. GENE.
