As for the plow you are dead on. It's not measure in how many bottoms you pull it's how many acres an hour. A tractor pulling 5 16's in 2 low is not going to plow anywhere near as much ground an hour as the same tractor plowing in 4 low with 4 16's.
Now as far as disk goes. Local used equipment dealer whos main customer base is small and hobby farmers says 2 ft of disk for every 10 HP at the drawbar as a rule of thumb. The thing to remember that if you max everything out all the time something is going to wear out or break. If you go just a tad smaller without going to fast for the implement you break down less.
Nebraska test cliams about 62.48 drawbar HP on the 706. You should in light sandy soil be ok with 14' of disk.......I have a 14' disk behind a 94 HP tractor at the drawbar. In lite sandy soil unless I'm running blocks to keep the disk up some it will pull fine in 4low but 1 high isn't good. I would suggest a 12 Ft disk for the 706.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
