Farmall and International
'06 and '56 Series
I believe this to be one of the best series ever manufactured by IH |

Amazing what a little paint
does. Good runner. I still need to do some
detailing 806 Diesel After 40 years with
the original paint, it was time to brighten up the ole'
girl. It is going to get a cab kit and some detailing
next. 706 Diesel To me, this is another
name for a Hi-Utility. Not a real common model. I put on the
backhoe attachment so it could help earn its
keep. I don't know who did this conversion, but unless you
knew other wise, most people would think that it is factory
issue. Just another version and part of the
history A really nice, straight 706D. I
have been hauling gravel with it. Saw one of these for sale by a
knowledgeable collector, who said that he knows of only 10
of these to exist. I don't know if this is one on his list
or not, but here it is . No TA, no live pto, no fasthitch or
three point. Just a Plain Jane.
These are not your everyday 706 tractor. Some probably do
not like the looks of the LP, but I think they are neat.
Will post a picture after it is painted
(12-08)
This tractor is in storage and I need to get it out and have
it painted this winter
I use this tractor around the farm. They will still do alot
of work. One of the best models IH made.
These tractors have the German diesel
engine. It has always been a Ross County tractor, which I
tried to buy 10 years ago. I am the third owner and have
since put on 16.9 x 38 rear tires. Tach showing over 10,000
hrs., runs like a top and the engine has not been
touched.
I have used this one a good bit to
haul gravel. It was more economical to use when gasoline was
$4/gal and LP gas was under $2. I will continue to upgrade
this one because I feel it's worth
preserving
I don't really need two 806 diesel tractors, but hey, it's a
free country; right? Anyway, this is a late model one and I
have been using it to haul manure.
I bought this tractor in 1980 and it
has about 4300 actual hours. It will be next to last tractor
to leave the farm (my Dad's 300 will be the last)
These are not real
common. Were made in the utility configuration
only
This tractor is a late model
with the German diesel. I need to find one with the old ,
but reliable 292 diesel
This tractor
also has the German diesel engine. Recent engine overhaul
and up-dated injector pump. Starts easy in all types of
weather
The gas version seem to
be more common than the diesel. This one was bought off
"Dead Row" at a local consignment action. Had the dirtiest
fuel system I have ever seen in a
diesel.
These are great baler, green chop tractors,
etc... where infinite speeds are needed and the operator
doesn't want to stop and shift gears. They are not design
for heavy tillage
This is a nice
straight tractor, with the early 282 glowplug engine.
Production switched to the 310 german diesel in the last
third of the production and continued through the 756
tractors.
