Well i would recomend getting one a later model 706 gasser with the 291 gasser , but this is the down side of running a 706 gasser ya MUST RUN 93 octain gas . Whenthey are tuned correctly they will do fine on fuel usage i ran a 67 706 gasser for years as my main tractor and pulled 4x16 710 plows with it and got along just fine and could run 10 inches deep in first high in corn ground and 4th low in sod . The tank holds real close to 35 gallon and i could get two to three nights of plowen in running 4 to 6 hours a night . She always seamed to run better at night and i always like plowen at night as long as i had a field opened up first and never ever open a fiel at night under the alfluance of inkilhoil ya won'
t like what ya see in the daylite. At this time my to good friends both run a 706 gasser on is a 67 with the 291 and the other is a 65 with the 263 to 291 update . when we did the update on the 65 it gained a bunch oh Hp. and dropped fuel comp. When i was in busness i bought and sold a ton of 706 gasser and the people that bought them from me just loved them as a chore tractor or a main work tractor . One day while i was eating lunch at the local lunch spot the local deal came in and started raggen on me for having three 706 gasser sitting at my shop and told me that ya can't sell them gasser and i looked him in the eye and said well Frank them three setting up at the shop will be gone by tomarrow as they are the last of the semi load that i got in on monday there was five on the load that time . Now the good part or bad part of all this was that 4 of the 5 came out of the dead row at a dealer only auction and all they needed was new batterys and the chargen system repaired . All had excelant T/A's and engine they just would not run with no juice .
