Sean: 656 gasser will have a drinking problem. It will be 60+ hp. The diesel version was one of the most efficient tractors ever built and the gasser was at the other end of the scale, as it applies to fuel.

Other than that fuel it will be a great tractor if it has been well maintained and doesn't require a lot of rebuilding. I farmed for many years with roughly 20 different tractors, 16 of them Farmalls, and all the way from 20hp to 150 hp. My most efficient horse power hours came from Farmalls 656 and 560 diesels. That takes into consideration buying, fuel and repairs on roughly 26,000 hours of work with the two tractors. During the years those two tractors were my main work horses, my bottom line was the best. Now, I will admit there were other factors, however the tractors had a significant impact.
