You may remember from my post a week ago that I was looking
at a Farmall 706D, WF, fast hitch, DH, for $2200. The down side
is I was told that it needed a head gasket. Well, I bought it
before the auction from the jockey. I was told that it ran, and
that the TA and other things have had recent work.
Well, nothing he said so far has come true. I have bought things
from him before and he"s been alright to deal with, but a
salesman is a salesman. I should know better. I can"t even get it
started with a block heater and ether. I guess I"ll pop the head
off and see what"s up, but I wanted to get it to run to see if
anything else needs repair before I stick a bunch of money into
the motor. It is nice and straight, sheet metal wise. I will post a
picture when I take the time to figure out how. The TA is
hydraulic, I believe, but should I be able to pull start the tractor
with the TA in one position or the other? I know the mechanical
ones need to be back to keep from freewheeling.
Well, I guess I"m in the "bought a pig in a poke" stage. It will be
handy when it"s running, but I hope it"s not a $10,000 706 by
the time it"s done.
