Ok. A 706 only shares engines with a 560. Probably nothing else. 706's have a very heavy built rear end. It's hard to mess one up. They are not a synchro transmission like deere. NO SHIFTING! (Except T.A.) For Loader work, they are a hard to use tractor, only because they are hard to shift the range Trans. (High, low, reverse.) If the linkage and top cover for the range trans. have been rebuilt, and Clutch and TA dump valve are adjusted properly, they shift reasonably well. (Read: not great) The hydraulics work just fine, and are plenty adequate for that size tractor.
The Gas Motor will start well in the cold, and once warmed up, make decent power. They get thirsty, like 3-4 gallons an hour plowing snow, Misc. loader work, etc. (light to moderate load) I have a 263 in a 656, and other than it's thirst, I like how it'll start at 0* without an argument. Otherwise my experience comes from my 806D. I've driven a 756 gas, wonderful tractor if you like the gas motor. When they say updated to a 56 or 66 shifters, the Range Transmission pattern is an H rather than the inline H-L-N-R of an 06 tractor, and they're considerably easier to shift.
For the right deal, yeah, I'd own a 706 gas. I'd rather have the 310 diesel, though. Hope this helps a little. -Andy
