The draft control on the IH 706 through the 66 series tractors is a lower link control. The lower link is a torsion bar with a long lever inside the rear end that connects to a lever under the rear end cover. As the torsion bar twists it moves the lever under the dick and activates the hydraulics to the fast or 3point hitch. So say you are plowing, you set the draft lever about half way back then let the plow down with the inside hitch lever when the plow goes into the ground enough to apply the drft or pull to the torsion bar that you have the outside or draft lever set at that is where the draft will hold the plow. If the ground gets a little liter the plow will go deeper untill the same draft or pull equals the draft setting. So you may need to pull the draft back a little so the plow does not go to deep. If ground gets harder the draft or pull gets harder so it will lift the plow to maintain the draft setting. You only use the inside lever to lift the plow out to trun around. There is an off set at the bottom of the inside lever that you should set the inside lever at unless you are in a low gear because of the hard pull of the plow like 3td or lower then you may want to move the inside lever down into the ofset to slow the action of the draft so the tractor does not buck as much with the draft working hard to maintain the draft setting. I don't know much I helped you but the draft on these tractors does work very well if they are working right. That off set domps some of the oil to slow the hydraulic some. The off set can be used for other thinks as well sa the hitch because it will slow the hydraulics for the remote levers as well.
