706 pulling tractor? May 15, 2012 10:43AM
Has anyone ever used a 706 platform for pulling? Can it get striped down to 7000 pound. class?

706 is rather common for a pulling tractor, 312-360 or 414-436-466 will bolt up to the housing. 7000# can be done, lots of light stuff though.

I know the obvious stuff like rims, 3 point, etc what else is there to do?

I have seen a bone stock 706 gas with factory 3-pt delete, had the dual pto and clamshell fenders and 15.5's on cast wheels, and he pulled 7500 pounds. 7000 shouldn't be too hard at all. 6500 should be possible. I have seen one that weighed 5500 bare- that took a LOT of work!

Yea I think that it can be done. You guys think in can be done on a $7000 budget?

Re: 706 pulling tractor? May 16, 2012 02:52AM
I'm sure it could be done on $7000, but keep in mind most people put more than that in the engine alone!

Yea I'm not looking for a title or anything. I just want to pull in the local fairs. There are two cockschutt tractors and a guy with a 454 Chevy that would be in the same class. I don't want to get crazy quite yet.

I have access to a dt360 but the block is shot all internal parts are good. Would it be wise to buy a new block to put the good parts in or just go to a 466?

466 hands down if rules will allow you to run a 466. I have one for sale asking $1500 but will come off that price. good running complete engine.

Re: 706 pulling tractor? May 19, 2012 11:12PM
If you're on a budget, a running engine is much better than doing an overhaul. 1500 will buy you a 466 most any day, and a running 360 should be closer to 1000. Of course, like 1466 ih says, if you are allowed the big one, go for it!

Tons of trucks out there with 466s many going to the scrap yard (body's shot). know of more than 1 where the guys drove it on the semi trailer took the tires and fuel out and hauled them to the yard

Ok i am persuaded towards a 466. Thanks!
