My "new" and first WH is T 706 - info?

[Crille68 1]

Hi everyone!

I found this forum and have been lookin around and at many beautiful pictures.

Now my questions:

I have bought an oldie, a Wheel Horse T 706, but I can not see any info of this model.

Is it an export model? I am living in Sweden ( I hope you all understand what I mean when I write...) and my tractor is sold new here - I think...

It has Serial Number 181158 and it has not the original motor. My engine is a Kohler 8 Magnum.

Does anyone know anything of my 706? Age? Rare?

I can later on show some pictures of it if anyone is interested.

It has 3+1 gearbox and is very "tractor lookalike"...

I will tell you what little I know about your tractor.

It was built in 1966 and was originally fitted with a retractable start Kohler K series 7 horsepower engine and a three speed Uni-Drive transmission.

This particular model wasn't offered in the USA and was apparently built at the Belgium plant.

Here are some pictures I have found on the internet of a nice original 706:

Please post pictures of your 706 if at all possible. (especially the I.D. tag located under the dash housing)

Hi!

Great to know how old my WH is! 2 years older than me!

Tonight I'm quite tired ( here it is 00:25) so I will only (try to) show one picture of what I have bought;

It is my 706 with a Kohler 8 Magnum, snowblade and chains, and a pair of extra tractortires for the rear axel.

I will show more later on and more closeup-pictures and more...
