RTD: No question the hydro will work well on the mixer wagon. Between 1965 and 1975 I must have looked at these hydros a dozen times and each time I walked away. My 656D gear drive was bought new for $4,200. in 1967. In 1972 I was at the IH dealers and they had a hydro in for hydro repairs and the bill was very close to what my tractor cost new. So when I bought my power shift Deere in 1975, once again it was easy to walk away from the IH hydro.Keeping CaseIH happy will not be anymore pleasant than OPEC. On the starting issue those circulating heaters need to work much like the thermosyphon in a SA. It must be mounted in such a way that you get unobstructed flow from the engine block drain up through the heater with the discharge going into one of the ports on the engine head. I used 1500 watt heaters as I did not use those tractors most days in winter. I would suggest on your use and keeping it pluged in all the time 500 watt probably sufficient. The heaters I had used thermostats. You will also find that 282 diesel very fuel efficient. The later 666, 686, Hydros 70 and 86 started a bit better, had a bit more power, but fuel economy suffered. My 656D would on 9' haybine or baler with thrower, run on 1 Canadian gal per hour. 282 was absolutely the most fuel efficient hp I ever had on the farm. And both of them went over 10,000 hours before any major rebuilds.

I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
