I kind of figured the fuel consumption would be rougher with a gas motor over diesels. I do want a diesel and it may be best to pass on this particular tractor. This D17 allis I have seems to lug down and can"t handle the bushhog. Seems to strain the motor. Yes I have ran the diesels, we have a 886 with the german 356(think it is,maybe not) but yeah I like the diesels for hardcore work. They seem to withstand the abuse. For the money of going from a 53hp 226 in the allis to another gasser that puts 60+hp might not be it. Having the diesel motor may just be it. But I can always fall back on that 886 for the heavy stuff, and have that 656(if bought) for the lighter work. I am tired of the hand clutch and want true independant PTO. In case that gas motor needs work I can do it myself. The diesel injectors and the pump would have to be sent off for rebuild and be high cost. I"ve seemed to notice the gas burners aren"t abused as hard as the diesels can be. Its way to early to tell on a descion and haven"t even looked hard yet. Never know what I could find. Plus wanted a 706 for some reason.

Guess the only other question I didn"t see anwsered was what the difference was between the Farmall and International models? Thought it was something of the packages offered to the tractors?

Oh BTW, would a 656 gasser pull a 5 bottom 550 IH semi mount plow in clay ground? If so I have my plow for the tractor already.LOL Thanks for the help guys!
