I discovered in the back of a friend's tool shed a Farmall 706 LP Gas. Everything looks original. The front side emblem identifies it as a 706 w/ lp gas in lieu of the diesel imprint. The s/n is 1292, so I think it is a '63. He says it runs. It has narrow front w/ 18-4 x 34 rear tires, fast hitch, ta, small fenders, sheet metal is in good shape. A unique tractor to me because growing up in northern Indiana, no one I knew of had a lp tractor. There must have been some around (see them at the shows) but I've never seen one at work.

Are these common in other parts of the counntry? Just looking for comments on how many 706 lp gassers were made and when. Who else has one? Where are you located?

I love this website. Great stories, great mechanical help, I've learned many things from reading the posts. Thanks.

My neighbor has a 706 LP and I grew up on a 400 LP. Ours was a hard starter but his 706 seems to start pretty good. The 706 gas/lp as well as the 806 gas/lp really like their fuel, as long as your not pulling them hard they should be okay but you crack the throttle open and you can here the Slurps..... ..... I farmed for a fella growing up who had a 706G and 856D.

When we went in for lunch I had to fill up the 706 if we were working hard but he could go the whole day in that 856D. Much different in fuel consumption.

My neighbor likes his and i never had one issue with that 706 gasser other than the tapeworm in the fuel tank.

I started farming with a '65 706 LP that was equipped much the same way except it had 3 pt. and 16.9x34 in. tires. I also worked for a farmer who owned a 706 LP with a "cozy cab". It wasn't the greatest cab for visiblity, but was still better than being in the elements in the late fall. My uncle owned an 806 LP with the 18.4 x 34 in tires, but had the flat top fenders. My 706 put out about 80 hp when I purchased it. All were good tractors.
