The 706 is simply the "smaller brother" of the 806. That means that it has a hi/lo range 4 speed. It is equipped with a mechanical park brake, and can be either diesel or gas. There were two options for the diesel engine and a gas engine. Someone check me if I am wrong but the diesel engine could be the D-282 or the D-310 depending on the year. The 282 is an American-built 6 cyl. diesel with glow plugs. It is the same engine as in the 560 and 660 and has the injection pump located on the right hand side of the tractor when sitting on the seat. The 310 is a neuss build 6 cyl. german diesel. It uses direct injection and has its injection pump on the left hand side of the tractor when sitting on the seat. The gas engine is 263 or a C-291, both six cylinders and I believe, are good motors, however, they burn a lot of gas and have had durability problems for certain people. I would still recommend the gas engine, just less than the two diesels. The tractor has 3 hydraulic pumps. 1 in the clutch housing powering the steering, brakes,and torque-amplifier(if equipped), 1 in the rear end to power the 3 or 2 point hitch(if equipped) and I think the pto and another to power the remotes at the back. Options included torque-amplifier which uses a planetary gearset to give 16 forward speeds and 8 reverse speeds. Since this tractor's is hydraulic, it will hold back on hills, which is a big advantage over the older ta equipped ih tractors. Also, fender mounted headlights, a high output hydraulic pump for the remotes (indicated by a an s or a y at the end of the serial #. I believe that the 282 is a wet sleeve engine but I don't know what the 310 is. The horsepower(PTO/drawbar) for a 263 gas equipped 706 is 74/66. The 291 is 76/68. The 282 is 72/67. The 310 is 76/69. The hydraulic flow rates I don't know off the top of my head, and I would have to look them up. As for things to look out for, make sure the owner changed the engine AND the transmission oils and filters regularly. Not doing these things leads to premature death of the pumps and the valves. If there is no power steering after the tractor is sitting for a while, the filter has not been changed and is full, causing the bypass valve to kick in. The fluid should be clean and should not smell burnt. The power steering should turn quickly and not slip over excessively or else the pump is getting weak. 7 revolutions of steering wheel slip is about all that you want to see when the steering wheel is held to the stop. Any more and something is damaged. Lastly, make sure that the TA and the clutch have been properly adjusted. Don't try to adjust them like an old farmall. They are not the same. Talk to a dealer about how to adjust them, because frying a TA is BAD news. Well, I think that answers just about all of your questions. Good luck, they are great tractors, last forever and are fun to use.

Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
