Looking at a 656, know nothing about...

I happend to spy a Farmall 656 NF on the road today, and I never have been around one and would like to know some general info on them before I would buy one. For one the gear shift was odd(to me)and the guy said it was a 5 speed with a TA to make 10 speeds. Had a gas motor in it. And mainly I have had gas tractors and was wondering if it would still be able to power our 6' Bush hog pulling thru 3' tall grass. Cause my D17 gas burner still can't pull that shreddar at 54HP. And not sure on HP rating on a 656 gas burner but wondering if it could pull it. The 656 tractors mainly had independent PTO's? So if running a shreddar, push in the clutch the PTO won't stop but the tractor movement will? Just want to make sure as my D17 has the hand clutch to keep the pto going, getting tired of that. On the I6 gas engines were there any problems with them? The guy I was talking with said something about the oil light would come on every now and then due to the oil filter being above the pan and it would drain out? My other tractor is fighting an oil problem, and don't need to buy another tractor with oil pressure issues. One more: What is the difference between the International models from the Farmall models? This one is a Farmall 656. I knew(for example)there was the I706 and a F706 does this also apply to this 656? This serial number started off 23,something, and looked that up its between 66' and 67'. Take it its a 66' model. Nice looking tractor, but wish it was a diesel. Thanks for the help!
