We bought a new 766 diesel in 1974. When we quit farming in 1996, it was either sell the 766 or the 706 German diesel. We kept the 706 with twice the hours if that tells you what we though of the 766.
We had trouble with the engine while it was still under warranty, they said the rings never seated and it was burning a gallon of oil a day.
After the rebuild it was fine and had plenty of power for its size.

The cab rattled and clanked, sure not equal the John Deere cab of that era.
The shifter also tended to give trouble and who ever decided to bury the batteries under the floor of the cab was a sadist.
