Most 706's had the D-282. It uses glow plugs for starting and was also found in the 560. You will need to use the glow plugs even on the hottest summer days. The 282 was a good engine. The very last 706's, right before they changed it into the 756, had the D-310 German Diesel. We have a 686 with the D-310, it has 6600 hours on it, and it has never been overhauled. It's very good engine, but they can be cold-blooded. Early German Diesels like the 706 had 15:1 compression and a full fuel control to help starting. Our 686 still has the 15:1, but no full-fuel setting, so it is probably the hardest-starting German Diesel. We also have a 786 with a late D-358 German (Same engine as the 310, just more stroke) with 16:1 pistons and no full-fuel, easiest starting diesel I've ever been around (this engine has 7400 hrs. never been overhauled). 16:1 pistons from late engines will fit a 706 D-310, should you decide to overhaul it. I would agree with your dealer, there won't be a noticable difference in rated horsepower, 706 with D-282 has 73 hp. 706 with D-310 has 76 hp., but when you really lug it down, the D-310 will have more torque rise. If it was me, I'd grab the one with the D-310, that is one of the best tractors there is, and the price seems right. $5500 seems too much for the one with the 282, unless it is in perfect condition.
