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.
