There was not a lot of R & D went into those IH 6 cylinder gassers. Certainly not the caliber of engine as the old pre 1958 4 cylinder gassers. These 6 cylinder engines were little more than modified truck engines. My bet the 706 is probably closer to rebuild time than the 756. 756 has the iron clad German Diesel, well maintained they'll run 20,000 hours.
