Never never never underestimate a German 310 or a 358. Yes they are tempermental SOBs in cold weather; yes they slobber if let idle; yes they are expensive to repair, BUT...... they pull like all he?? !!! Over the years I had 2 706s with the 282 motor. Good machines. I bought the only 706-310s that I found. With 16.9x38 tires, tuned to high factory spec they could keep my 806 (361d) in sight. And the 806 would eat my 986's lunch. ( a 1086 cured that problem!!! ) In my opinion those 310 motors were the best thing that happened to that series of Farmalls. Here in eastern Canada, there were many 786 and 886 sold with the 358 incher. Also a fair number of 3088s amd 3288 models. Some farmers kept the 706 310ers or their 756s and bought 3288s, bypassing the 3688, and passing the 3688 in the field. And I just loved the sound of a 310 pulling hard on a clear evening... that sound rolled across the valley where I farmed. Sweet music. Good stuff!!!! 'Memories....
