Well, brother and I found the shifting problem with the 706 last night. The Hi-Lo shift fork is wore. We are in the process of trying to locate one right now. I sent an email out to Bates this morning, and my brother is going to check with Wenger's today. Any other ideas? I want to thank everyone who contributed insight and information to my inquiries. It was a huge help.
Also, while we had the top cap off the tranny, I noticed that there is a very strong spring pushing down the parking brake pawl. It rides on the actuating rod. This makes it impossible for the parking brake lever to work correctly. The parking brake handle can not stay up with the spring pushing down on the pawl. I noticed that the spring is not represented in the I&T manual, just the small spring on tope of the cover. Should this large spring be on the pawl? If not, it would certainly make it easier to use. If you have any idea's, please let me know. Thanks.

Your tractor has been retrofitted with the more modern park lock from the 66 series tractors. Believe it or not, it's a much better system. The spring holds the park lock in place instead of gravity. It engages much more easily, and holds better.

Without the spring, you often have to rock the tractor back and forth by jumping up and down on the tire to get the lock to engage with the tractor on level ground. My Dad's 856 is like this, but the 756 and 1066 both have the spring loaded park locks, and work much better.

Thanks MEK.
It seems like a good design for holding the brake on, but the problem is that the linkage was not updated at the same time, and it was impossible to unlock the brake with the old style linkage! We rigged it up so it will work, but we are in the process of hunting for the correct linkage before the dang thing engages on it's own!
