Why????? If you want a 100 plus horse power tractor then buy one . we run two 706 gassers and we do not feel that they are that hard on gas. We use them as chore tractors and not prime tillage now like we did twenty years ago becasuse we went to bigger tillage tools . But we use them for mowing and raking on hay planting and manure hauling grinding feed in the winter months as they will start no matter the temp. they warm up faster . As for the amount of gas used we do not feel that it is that much . I can mow rake twice and move the bales off the field and travel the 16 mile round trip to the one 28 acre field on one tank of gas . It takes our DODGE CUMMINS a tank of fuel to haul the hay back to the farm . Your pick up will burn MORE gas in a day pulling a trailer down the road in 10 hours then a 706 gasser will working . IF a 706 gasser in tuned up propperly and play the game with the corect gas run the corect oil they run vary well , ya don't play the game wright then you have problems . If you burn 300 gallon of gas a year thru it it will cost you about 40 bucks a year more for the corret gas , one set of plugs and points one valve cover gskt. For what a repower would cost you could buy a tanker load of gas. Have i done any Cummins repowers ?? yes , but not on a I H tractor . I have done a 1855 Oliver and we are in the final stages of a Cummins 8.3 in a oliver 2150 fwd . was it worth the cost ???? not sure yet ,as at the moment with the price of the tractor with a blowen 478 herc. 2000 bucks , cost of 8.3 3250, cost of flywheel a grand , mods to oil pan 25 bucks new fan 200 bucks and misc. around 500 bucks it will be a cheap 200 hp OLD tractor with limited hyd,s. no fancy cab with A/C . will it do what we want probable not . What we should have done was put a new sleeve in the 478 Herc. , done a sherman and williams over haul and put it in a sale and let and Oliver collector give 19-20 grand for it and went and bought a newer bigger tractor and a 2 yard ft.end loader .

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
