Ah grasshopper you learn the hard way . And when the day comes that ya pull her down you will find that the tops of the pistons above the top ring is where all your problems started From using that 87 and if it had MTB or MTD or alkihol in it it will happen faster. As all these additives make oxygen and lean the fuel mix at peak combustion even more . Just like running a Alki race car if ya lean it out to much she will make all kinds of power and will melt her self down and take and early lunch. Ya do like i say and it will run a long time. Believe me i have learned all this the hard way and spent big buck to come up with a way to make a gasser live on todays gas . Ad here if i would have read the Owners manual first and fallowed it i would not have had the problems. As I H already did all this way back . Like i said around here there is a lot more old tractors working everyday then the new ones . We do not have the large farms but lots of small dairy farms and for years they have had hard times tryen to keep there heads above water . Alot of the tractors that they are usen are ones that i bought brought home and went thru them and made them a good strong go to the field cheep tractor . I lost count of the number of 706gassers that i hauled home and rebuilt . The local Case I H dealer told me one day that he saw a couple OLD RAG 706 gassers setting by the shop . YEp there are two outside and one split inside getting a new T/A and clutch and one in the paint booth . He tells me you can't sell them old tractors nobody wants a gas , Oh really three are already sold and the forth is what i am going to farm with when i get that one done Well it sold before i ever got it in the field . So i sorta know my I H 's I e4ven offered to buy a couple for the dealer to put on his lot, But He would not BUY them junk tractors . Well not long after our little talk one day he send one of his salesman and one of his customers up to see if i had any tractors for sale as his customer wanted to buy a baler and a tractor , he had the baler But like always no tractors setting on his lot . Well i had just got in a 706 diesel and this ratty old 806 . I told the guy that i had not even looked at the 706 yet but if he wanted it i would get it in and go all over it and fix what ever i found and i would stand behind my work for 90 days and any parts that i had to put in if it needed a T/A i would install a three year warranty one and stand behind that for the full three years . WELL I PUT HIM IN A GOOD 706 For a good price . I was happy the dealer was happy as i was Mr. nice guy and gave him a little for bring the man up It was like he had to eat CROW . Just love it when a plan comes together.
