Lee: Don't even consider the 706 unless it's diesel. I farmed most of my life, had 16 Farmalls, most of them bought new or close to new. My smallest Super A, largest 1066. I had at least one tractor from each series from letter series through to 66 series. My experience tells me, post 1958 Farmall gassers were not great. One other little piece of advice, my profit margins were greatest when underpowered for the work to be done. Over powered farming does not make profits. Folks can tell you how great a certain tractor is, however they all require parts eventually. Stepping up to the parts counter for parts for those large chassis 06, 56, 66 and 86 series tractors, can be a humbling experience. They can severely lighten your wallet or bank account.
