a few more thoughts.. the shuttle transmission is scarce, relative to the number of gear drive and hydros around. the 656 diesel was a glow plug engine. i have glow plugs in my 560 diesel. not an issue unless you do a lot of start and shut off work. waiting a minute for the glow plugs gets to be a time annoyance. turbo no way necessary for what you want to do. the spindle tops are different farmall (keyed) vs international (splined). splined are harder to keep tight. you will want to see which model you get before stockpiling spindles. usually, used are available from parts yards. one of my 656s has new from A&I when i couldn't locate used at the time. the A&I catalog has dimensions and descriptions and part #s so you get the comparable one, new or used. for loader work, hydro is the way to go. i have 2 farmall hydros and 1 international high utility (38" tires and longer spindles than the utility) hydro. all gas. checking the hydro against the brakes should tell you what you need to know on condition. you should find the procedure to check hydro if you do a search on here or the red power forum. i had the hydro on my 826 rebuilt at hoober's this winter and their bill was under $2300. i was happy with that. haven't got the rest back together, but they do so many i don't anticipate any problems with it. some guys have even rebuilt their own. i don't have time or patience to do it. my loader is currently on one of the farmalls and if i need another 656 hydro to replace it, i'll look for another farmall, only because of the front axle issues on the utility.
