Charles. Thank you for the additional Info. You are so correct to point out That I am an Old (green)fellow without any experience with tractors. However My son drives Steigers for a local farmer every year for the past 6 years. The main reason We bought a 706 was to use for gathering fire wood and to plow around the old homestead. Now for ALL the fellows who were kind enough to supply me with information ,My sincere Thanks. The 706 we bought was in such disrepair ,it took well over 6 months to get it back where it once was, with added features I,H never had in mind, i.e. A fuse panel(16) fuses available.independent Guages AMP.OIL.Water on pedestals on new panels. We used the gas guage intact along with the tach guage. New paint, New fluid all around.new steering wheel. we even re upholstered the seat with a pop can holder and an ashtray. We rebuilt the starter .added a 65 Amp uni-directional alternator. Added lines and valves for the cab heater.The jerk who had it so patched up, had a tie rod end wired up to hold the shaft on, Had a riped and brazes oil pan ruined generator,with duct tape on the wires that werent clipped. One tire was so bad the air was showing throughThe rim on the good tire was full of calcium chloride that leaked through the tube onto the rim. which rust welded the tire to the rim.Another rim was needed. Pulled both tires off sand blasted both, Painted and tires reinstalled. Now keep in mind we didn"t spend the bank on the original purchase, but a lot of time and Money went into the re construction of the 706. Now it is a most impressive machine.The 706 has no 3 point hitch, just straight bar. We want to use just one of the hydraulic ports on the left side of the tractor for the loader valve, so the right and rear will be open for later use. The lever inside(factory) will be used to operate the new joystick valve for the loader arm and bucket (double acting cylinders for both) we really do not want to cut and splice any original lines under the floor pan if we don't have to, as these may in time leak and then have to pull the cab to fix.More of a safer bet to use the left factory port.Would the joystick valve work in this configuration with out a power beyond? The trany and t.a. work fine. No smoke from the engine with 46 lb oil pressure. Damm we could write a book on this fine tractor as it is NOW.The Hydraulics are where we are not to familar with, so that is why we are asking some one for their prior knowledge and experience. would love to show pictures (before & After) so As to show our efforts. To all who so Kindly anwsered our inquiries present and past, THANKS. We will use any additional information that will send us on the right path. We will indeed hold off until the cab is placed on the tractor. The cab will take Quite a while to re-do. We have pictures up on our computer but don't know if it is permissible to show here. Again THANKS GUYS!! LOU.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
