I fell in love with this tractor the moment I set eyes on it! My first (and only tractor) was an old David Brown 60hp, don't remember the model. It had its quirks, but was pretty reliable for the most part. This 706 seems twice the size and the engine sounds like brand new--starts first time every time, purrs in idle, roars like a lion when ya feed it the diesel and doesn't smoke a bit, unlike my old DB whose pistons rattled and smoke bellowed out the exhaust on startup and until it warmed up.
So that lever is some sort of direct drive thingie? I've run it both ways and it doesn't seem to roll any faster--1/2 a mile an hour just isn't too detectable. Why bother using the function at all?
Thanks for posting. Hope you find another 706--though if this one is too much for me to fix, it might end up on the market sooner than later....
