e,
I paid $2,000 for it. The sheet metal is pretty straight, and overall, the tractor does not appear to have been abused. I have not used it enough yet to determine how much gas is "a lot," but I would guess it would consume a fair amount. Since I am not a full-time farmer, I do not mind the gas burning - I will be glad to trade the high gas consumption for ease of winter starting. If I was working 300 acres of cotton every year, it would be a different matter. The tractor cranked easily & runs great - it just smoked a little. We have already cut the ridges off the cylinders, and the wear is not too bad. We are hoping to get the engine overhaul completed this weekend. The engine tunred out to be from a combine. My buddy has already fixed a lot of the minor deficiencies we found, such as the tach and fuel gauge not working. I am hoping to get another 706 soon, this one a LP gas burner, for parts as soon as my contact can reach the owner. (The proposed parts tractor is supposed to have a good TA & PTO, but has a cracked head.) I am still satisfied w/ my purchase.
