if it hasn't had a loader on it before, i'd say you should be ok with putting a loader on it, bushing-wise. the bushings are fairly easy to replace IF you catch them in time. if the wear gets into the castings, they probably will be a job to machine because of the shape. i've never done mine, just semi-retired it to feeding (non loader) work. one other thing, i've replaced the spindles and hubs on 3 656s with ones from a 7/806/26/56 series, because the stock 656 spindles/hubs can't stand the constant beating from a loader. my first 656 utility had a new idea 504 loader on it. many companies made loaders with different brackets to adapt to many different makes and models. several ih (and other makes)loaders would work on the 656 with the right brackets. the 2250 is a quick attach model. if you don't need to take the loader off and on a lot, the standard models would save some money. you'll have more time into setting your wife's m to her specs than you will have in changing the 656 bushings. :)

In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens.
