There was and still is quite a few of those ol' 706 and 656 gassers around here. I doubt very much if any of those tractors ever saw a drop of gasoline that was rated over 87 octane, and they are still going strong. None that I know of ever suffered any catastrophic engine failure because of the gasoline being used or for any other reason. Maybe that is because the owners of those tractors followed the advice of the dealer and pulled only a 4 bottom plow instead of a 5 bottom, or a 14 foot disk instead of a an 18 foot, and also because they chose a gear low enough that the engine did not NEED to make maximum power just to get the job done.
A 706 is NOT a 1206, nor even an 806, and it should not be expected to do the same amount of work in the same time frame.
