Yep been there done that as i have been playen with them for over 25 years and have had every nut and bolt out of them at one time or other . Sold my buddy a 65 706 gasser when he was almost down and out and needed a tractor to get by with ( by the way he was Deere man) and he ran the bag off it for 10 years and one day he tryed to save some money by getting cheeper fuel and this fuel man told him that he had this here farm gas that would save his gas tractors as it had this here lead substatute and while he and i were grinding feed for miss piggy we hear the 706 start pulling down and i went to shut off the pto so it would pick back up and just as i went for the lever it missed a couple times and i saw a red hot pice come out the pipe and it was missen big time she ate #5 exhust valve ok it's time so pull head check head grind head install all guides replace three valves do three angel seats lap valves in put tractor back together two weeks later grinding pig feed again it eats #3 exhust valve then it take out #6 three weeks later . I got tired of pullen the head on this one he told me just to rebuild the whole tractor and we did i made it a 291 change everything rebuilt every thing and 30 hours after rebuild now mind ya 42 hours it scored all 6 because of the gas . We had that gas tested at a lab at the cost of over 700 bucks and that is when we found out that it was only 87 octain lacced with stail diesel fuel , now that we only use the 93 from another supplyer this tractor will run all day long pullen 4x16's in 1st high in corn ground at 8-10 inches of grind ear corn thru the small screen as fast as the drag can run it in and never miss a beat or pull down under 1900 . I am blowen my owen horn here but i would say that when it comes to the 706 it would take a real good wrench head to out do me.
