John: I did a large percentage of my farming with a 656 diesel and its older cousin a 560 diesel. Both these tractors had the 282 diesel engine with 5 speed and TA. Absolutly the most economical horse power I ever had on farm. They were virtually trouble free tractors. 656 went over 10,000 hours to its first major rebuild. At that time I did tractor from end to end. Every thing including TA and pto were still working at that time. I had the dealer redo the complete tractor. The 560 blew up at 11,000 hours, it had pistons and sleeves at 7,000 hours. I had run that tractor at 90 hp since new. It saw a lot of hard work it was never designed for. PTO clutch pack every two years. In the end it distributed engine parts across the barn yard. I have operated a few 706's some. To me they always seemed as though that chassis was just a bit to much, for the 282 engine. Then you have to realize what I was used to. The fact that IH put 310 german in later 706's and my experience with 560, I would say no to a 706 with 282. I will say no to all of them in gasoline models.
