i LOVE my 656 gas (c-263)
easy starter (even in MN winters--we plug it in). sounds beautiful under load or at idle. has a race car quality idle, and snappy governor.
that tractor has a 5 speed trans like an H or M. you can plow in 3rd gear with it, and when under full load with a corn chopper or disc mower-conditiner, it will burn 4 gallons an hour. light loads, it's much better you can move round bales all day on about 5 gallons and still make it home, although cold weather makes it thirstier.
706 with that motor has larger carb jets and runs at higher rpms which do consume more fuel.
