Well once they went into as Allen calls them the large frame tractors from the 706up the hyd. T/A's had the HOLD back in the low side of the T/A but on the smaller ones 656-686 still had the OLD style mech. T/A and would Free Wheel in the low side . Now as far as any noises from the transmision or rear end while in the cab believe me when i tell ya unless there are teeth missing you will not hear them . Heck the 1486 that i bought i bought knowing that the T/A was OUT as i for some reason that i can not explain i enjoy installing T/A's , well i drove this tractor and checked it out with the side winder open and also the back window open and did not hear the miss in the engine or the noise from the trans mission . Until a friend came over and told me while i was moving the tractor around the yard that it was missing and i had him drive it around THEN i heard thinks that turned my blood ice cold and dug real deep into my check book . Then once i started working on it the more i pulled apart the deeper i had to go . the speed transmission took every gear all new bearing and BOTH shafts then the engine took a new cam and lifetrs and a couple rocker and push tubes . So my 6500 dollar 1486 was getting more expencive by the day then we got into the rebuild of the ft. end everything was plum wore out and yes i have used a bunch of A&I parts and was well pleased with the parts , and yes i have used the tapered under sized arms they are on my buddys 1066 and have been on there for ten years or so now and they are doing just fine . His spindels were in bad shape and it was a gambel that we took to try and save a few dollars and has worked well . I installed new bushings and thrust bearings in his old knees put in a new piviot pin , rebult the steering cylinder with all the bushings and bolts new tie rod ends and those undersized tapper arms . What is hard on the ft. ends is alwas running with a full rack of weights . The only time that we have weights on the ft. is for plowen after the plowing is done the ft. weights come off . . this will save the ft. axel from undue ware like disken or field culivating over plowed or chisled ground those ft weights make the ft. take a harder beating then if it just rolls over the rough ground. So this 1086 that you are looking at it has more problems then this guy is telling you . When i sold a tractor that i worked on and had installed a new clutch and T/A the warranty for that work was transfered to the new owner . ON 706's they got a stanard T/A and a std. clutch the t/a had a two year warranty and anything bigger got the the HD units and had a three year warranty . IF i bought and sold a tractor that i realy did not have to do much to say like a new alt. and battery and a few lites fixed then you got it AS IS and i would tell ya that yopu were buying it that way , but evey tractor that i sold was tested in the field for atleast one day if not more . If that tractor did not suit me then it got shipped off to a auction and sold as is buy it to love it . Believe me when i tell ya that i have gotten hammered on some tractors but that is all part of the game and ya learn sometimes the hard way on what to look for.
