    About to use POR-15 Fuel Tank sealer in my 706

    It would be nice to save the OEM tank if possible. With that baffle, it seems the only chance to save this tank is to add an inspection port to the other side of the baffle allowing me to get in there and remove rust and prep it properly. I can get a nylon inspection hatch for around $30 or so...

    About to use POR-15 Fuel Tank sealer in my 706

    As I started getting the rust out of the tank, I found that there is a large baffle located just past the fill cap and that effectively cuts off the entire front lobe of the tank from inspection or nuts and bolts for de-rusting. That complicated things a lot. I'm going to use my borescope to...

    About to use POR-15 Fuel Tank sealer in my 706

    Lots of great advice. Wasn't expecting it but sure am grateful for it all. The tank is not leaking as far as I know, just lots of rust inside that keeps clogging it up. My fear with not coating the inside is that the rust will quickly return. I fully appreciate the horror stories on...

    About to use POR-15 Fuel Tank sealer in my 706

    Well, tank is out. Ready for R&R. I guess the POR discussions are worn out and nobody cares to chime in. Makes no diff. You read up and come to your own conclusions usually anyway. POR-15 it is.

    I have ruined my M

    For those of us who know very little about these fine machines, but still try to fix them ourselves, is this a possible issue on a 706 or just up to the 500's ?

    About to use POR-15 Fuel Tank sealer in my 706

    Hello! I'm About to use POR-15 Fuel Tank sealer in my 706 I am wondering if there's anything in particular I need to be careful of when applying the POR-15 as far as being careful not to block anything inside. I think I know how to get all the rust out now (Evapo-Rust) and use the etching...

    Farmall IH 706 Rusted Fuel Tank

    Another thing..... If I mange to clean out the tank and inside coat it with POR-15 or something similar, would getting the outside powder coated be a good idea?

    Farmall IH 706 Rusted Fuel Tank

    I was thinking that as a temporary fix (until I find a good tank or get mine done) I could possibly get any gas tank that would fit in the space and mount it for temporary use? Not sure if that is feasible or possible until I remove it though. Keeping it original is the goal but...... I wonder...

    Farmall IH 706 Rusted Fuel Tank

    Can I (should I) repair my heavily rusted tank or seek a new replacement? Would concentrated cleaning vinegar remove the rust? Can a NEW fuel tank be found? What would you do? Thanks

    Por 15 fuel tank sealer

    And if done "properly", how long can one expect this type of repair to last? Is this the best way to repair a very rusty old tank?

    Front Loader on 706

    Neither. Just a draw bar.

    Front Loader on 706

    Couldn't get the loader back on with it sunk into the dirt. So I got it back up out of the dirt. Will not unload it into dirt going forward without solid footing under the landing gear. Thanks again for all the good advice. Would have worked if it wasn't so deep in the dirt.

    Trailer Accessory Attachment - Fast Hitch and 3 pt on 1966 model 706

    Meh, I got "schooled". Being new to tractors I didn't even know I could use any attachments without a fast hitch or 3 point system. Now I'm seeing some folks actually prefer the simplicity of pull behind stuff. I'll probably keep the radar out in case something comes my way as far as the...
