A short time ago I purchased a 656 Hydro that I am starting to work on. I was told that it came out from under a Green Bean picker. The model number is F656 HS and the serial number is 39989 CR 818. It has decals from the Chisholm-Ryer Company and a their serial number 2598 BOH30. This tractor has a custom made high crop wide front end and an exta frame starting at the front of the tractor extending back under the rear axel and 4' beyond the rear axel. The rear wheels have been moved to the rear of this frame and are powered by an exposed chain drive from the orginial axels. An inspection of parts where the sun has never shined conferms that the orginal color is John Deere Yellow, which must have been the Chisholm-Ryder company color. Questions: Would the modifications to this tractor have been made by IHC for the Chisholm-Ryder Co., or were they made by the CR company after delivery from IHC? Were tractors ever shipped unpainted? I am sure that painting a tractor John Deere Yellow would have put IHC's shorts in a twist. Do you have any way to know what size rear tires would have been standard? The tractor did not have rear tires when I got it. I was told that 15.5x38's were what was on it. I put 15.5x38's on it to get it home but they look to small for this set up as the tractor sits noticablly nose up. Any help or information you can give me will be appreciated. THANKS

I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
