Wouldn't necessarily be a 2706. Could've been a yellow head off any number of machines that would've used the German D310 that IH put in the late 706 tractors.

A big clue here is that tractor was purchased "new" in 1968. Since IH stopped manufacturing 706s in early 1967, that doesn't jive. What are the odds that a new 706 sat on the dealer lot for over a year?

Two other pieces of information would tell the full story: Serial number, and engine type. Especially if it's a D282, then Grandpa bought a USED tractor, one that evidently had the head replaced for one reason or another. Either the dealer lied to Grandpa, or he wasn't remembering details correctly (i.e. it was "new to him," not really new, and in his later years his memories of the event dropped the "to him" part). I would believe the fact that Grandpa never went into the engine... It'd already been overhauled once by the time he bought it.
