I tend to prefer another color tractor, but I spent several summers working for a neighbor who had a 706 gasoline tractor. It was an earlier one with the smaller, 263 cubic inch, engine. I believe the later ones had 292's in them. The tractor was in pretty good mechanical condition, as was the engine. Most time was spent on it mowing and spraying, but also did some haying with it. This tractor also had a front end loader. I did not care for the transmission set up for loader work, which was my only complaint about the tractor. The transmission does not have synchronizers, nor are the forward and reverse gears matched up that well, for all the forward and backward movement in using the front end loader. For doing all the other tasks, I removed the quick attach loader and it was generally pleasant to operate. The only problem I ever experienced with it was a time when something failed in the transmission and I could not get it out of gear when in a confined space. We took it to a shop and they removed the transmission cover to make this repair. I cannot recall if it was a matter of a sheared roll pin or something happened to a shifting fork.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
