I am close to buy this Farmall 706 and the low end of the TA is out and when I test drove it I noticed that is slipped a little bit in high range. I did not smell the clutch but could it be. If it is the TA how hard is it to repair and I was also told it is hydraulic and there is a pressure switch inside the system that might be failing. PS He want $1800 for the tractor everything else is in good to fair condition. Any advise.

During one of my economy phases I took out one of these TA's and replaced just the sprag clutch ($100). But if you have slippage in high, you're looking at a rebuilt unit, I think about $750. While apart you also will want to do the clutch and IPTO gear, another $350 or so. Find a local private shop that has done these tractors before. Labor will be around $1000. A dealer doing this job would be around $4000, plus they (and other shops) like to fix anything else they find wrong, not just because they want the business, but they don't want a tractor leaving the shop and breaking right away, so it can be financially painful to take an old tractor into the shop and feel obligated to fix it right. The hydraulics that squeeze the high range clutches in this unit are the same hydraulics that steer and brake the tractor, so check the steering and brakes at a low rpm. If they are good it is likely the hydraulics are good enough to work the TA.

Bryan--I wasn't trying to talk you out of buying the tractor, just trying to give you an idea what it would cost to fix it with you doing the work. A mechanic's bill might make the deal not so good but if you are handy you could make it worth your while. $1800 isn't a bad price in that respect. I spent many hours on our 706 and it was a good rig overall. Good luck!

Yes, the 706 has an hydraulic TA. But the truth is, if the TA doesn't drive in low (TA) the sprag is out and the TA is junk. (Assuming the main clutch is driving the TA) You can fiddle with dump valves, lube pressures, MCV pumps, valves and gaskets till you are blue in the face, and the TA is still bad if it doesn't drive in TA. Replacing the TA requires a double split, and forces you to consider replacing other parts you haven't thought of, such as the clutch, pressure plate, rear main seal, IPTO shaft, release & pilot bearings, and yes, maybe the flywheel on a tractor that old.
