Im interested in buying a 656 diesel from a retired farmer. He told me that he would sell it to me for $4,000. I dont normally do anyhting with these newer tractors but i always wanted one. I collect older farmalls and stuff. I was hoping someone could tell me what these tractors(656) are worth and if it is in my best interest to buy it at this price. It has a wide front end, three point attachment, always been in the barn when not being used and the TA words great. THe only thing that he said is wrong with it is that it will pop out of fourth gear when its pulling a big load. All the other gears are ok though. Could that just be a bearing problem or if it is the gear how hard is it to fix. WOuld it be alot more complicated than a farmall h or m. What is the horse power on this tractor, does it have dual pto(540, 1000),dual hydrolics, and are they a good tractor to use on my farm. If someone would be so kind to help me out with this I would be much ablidged. thanks alot Matt

hey matt, i have a 656 diesel and they are the best little tractor in the world, we have been farming since 1951 and have had this tractor since new in 1968 and is the best and most reliable tractor we have. It is rated at 60 hp but wonce its broken in it will run bout 70, 540 pto, single hydrolics in the rear and dual up front for a loader, 4 grand isnt a bad price, but usually when a tractor pops out of gear it is because the gear has been chipped by abuse. One thing to watch is the shifting linkage, after a while it will get sloppy and u can jam it in gear, that is probly wut happened and wen the owner was attemptingto un jam the tractor he chipped the gear.best of luck to you, if u do decide to purchase it you will not be disapointed

Their are two types of 656 made IH and Farmall also could be gas or diesel. Woulsassume the one of which you ask is a Farmall. Some of these tractors had one set of hyd. at rear and one under fuel tank ( mid tractor )- many tractors used for bean , corn or loader tractors . PTO should be 540 only unless someone has changed out the chunk - check PTO under load to determine slippage as this is hyd. setup - look at front end to determine stability including tie rods and center mount, engine should operate with some blow-by- very cold natured and must use glow plugs even on summer day and shut down ten min. -- now for the good-- excellent tractor , just the right size, although rated at 67 hp. will outperform the newer tractors, 6 cyl eng when it hits the govenors with load is sweet music , currently have both the IH (utility ) and Farmall versions - price is about right for our market here-- noise and jump in trans could be substantial problem would suggest taking front panel below steering wheel , look at linkage make sure it is tight and is pushing gear linkage all of way in , you might even readjust, also check TA to be sure it is releasing properly and letting gear fully engage , if this does not work tractor most likely would need to be split, would suggest that you also drop hyd filter and check for metal in filter or housing

I TALKED TO A FRIEND WHO KNOWS MORE ABOUT IH THAN I DO, AS HE REMEMBERS,THE SHIFT LEVER FOR THIS TRACTOR IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH,IF SO, HE SAYS THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY THE ROLLERS ON THE SHIFT CAM.THIS IS LOCATED UNDER THE TRANS COVER AT THE OPERATORS FEET. TAKE THE COVER OFF AND TURN IT OVER,YOU WILL SEE THE ROLLERS.PROBABLY ONE OR MORE OF THE ROLLERS WILL BE WORN.IF SO REPLACE THE ROLLER AND PIN... ALSO CHECK THE LINKAGE BETWEEN THE TRANS AND SHIFT LEVER FOR WORN CLEVISES AND BELLCRANKS


P.S. BUY THE TRACTOR
