Ih 706

[buzz0981]

I recently bought an International 706 tractor, and have some questions about the TA. Under normal operating conditions, is it best to leave the TA in the disengaged position, or engaged? My tractor seems to shift best from forward to reverse gears with the TA engaged. Is this normal? If it is disengaged, it doesn't seem to want to go from forward gears to reverse very easily. Any advise is appreciated.

this is an interesting question. I have worked on these gear boxes a few times, It has been many year ago but I do remember it well. I can not think of any mechanical reason for it to not shift about the same.
