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. Paul

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
