mmi Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 better watch out she could take over the shed and make you vacuum the shop if you get any time in there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 That will be a nice tractor. Looks like a 282 diesel. That 282 is a smooth running engine. What size rear tires are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Pope Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Just like mine except for the TA delete, never seen that up here. You have the good 8 bolt front wheels and wide fenders and the forward access steps, too. Is that what you guys call a Wheatland Special? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size rear tires are those? 18.4-34’s, one is blown apart and the other isn’t far away, finding good used 34” rubber is not easy, but located a good pair this evening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wheatland was option Package just like your tractor. No pto, no ta forward steps usually 18.4 tires and skinny tires up front. Looks like tractor is complete and really straight. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it have a Wheatland decal above the 706 badge like the 1206, or was that just a 1206 thing? It does have a pto, but I’m sure it was added later in its life, it’s just the primer red color. It is really straight, it came out of North Dakota about 15 years ago, somewhere around Minot if I remember correctly?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they were or were not available. I had a picture of a original sticker on a 806 a month ago but I erased pic off my phone was going to repost it for you. Maybe Jeff the emblem guy will chime in he is pretty knowledgeable on the stickers for those. We used to add ptos into those tractors up to about 15 years ago. There were a lot of them without pto around here but lots had TAs. You can see front rims have been changed also. It would have come with skinny front tires.yours is what a wheatland option would have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall1066 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thank you for the information! I do like that it has 11L15’s on the front! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall1066 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Update on the 706. Finally got time and some parts put together to start on the 706. Well, not far into the process, we found out number one cylinder had some white residue in the exhaust port, not what I wanted to see, so pulled the head! The tops of the pistons look good, but zero crosshatching left in the cylinders, and number one exhaust valve seat is chewed up?! It also looks like the valve guides are getting pounded up into the springs?! So it looks like the engine is in trouble. Now I’m on the fence with it?? Part it out, or continue forward? It’s sat for roughly 20-25 years, and I’m wondering now if it was parked for more reasons than just oil leaking between the auxiliary valves under the seat?! Does anyone know where a good running D282 might be sitting a guy could buy?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-C-IL Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thats such a neat tractor, would hate to see it parted out. For parade use, wouldn't re-honing the cylinders, new rings, and a rebuilt head get you running decent again?? As long as the block and head itself isn't damaged, guides, seats, valves can be fixed. I'm no expert on those motors, though, so maybe others with more experience can say a lot more. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VacDaddyt Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 If I was looking for a engine there is two places I would check. One in Henderson Lieske tractor was taking one apart a week or so ago with a running 282. Knight tractor in Ellsworth WI also had one for sale. Good Luck, I liked my 706 with the 282 when I had it.

rustred Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 how come she is not sitting on it? ooh now you tore the engine out! now she probably don't want it. but yes very nice original tractor. nothing to find those engines. or fix that one. needs the head done 700.00- 1k. depends on parts. will need seats, valves. guides a planning. plus it will get a dunking and magnaflux. but worth it. then sleeves and pistons another 2k. plus check the camshaft . plus injectors and pump may need work another 2k. if the pump is still mounted on the engine spin the engine over and see if it spurts out some diesel out of the lines. if not it needs repair.

I’m guessing it needs the whole works! I already got a quote on the pump, injectors, and glow plugs. That was $3500!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedar farm Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Look for a 715 with a D-301. It will give it a little more power and they seem to start a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall1066 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 First thing first, I took the head to a machine shop for a magnaflux, if it’s not cracked, I’ll move forward with rebuilding the head, and hone the cylinders. If head is cracked, I may just be done with it until I can find something complete to drop in. Maybe a 361 and get away from glow plugs!!

If cracked then I might hold out for a running engine to put in, and save some overhaul expenses?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
