Mark: Anyone of 656, 666 and 686 are close to the best tractor ever built in the 60 hp class, provided it's diesel. If it's a gasser, probably in 2008 it ranks amoung the 10 poorest 60 hp tractors ever built.
The only thing good about a gasser in these three tractors, probably no one could ever afford to work it very hard, thus it would make a good canditate for a diesel transplant. Sure it would be expensive, but at 4100 hours with a new diesel, it would give you the work years of a new tractor. 4100 hours is nothing for this chassis, but I'll bet if it's a gasser the engine has either been rebuilt or needs rebuilding.
I bought a 656 diesel next door at 1800 hours in 1972, ( I had known the tractor since new.) In the first 10,000 hours it required a gear shift lever kit, hydraulic pump and one valve lifter push rod. That is it, other than fuel, lubricants, antifreeze and tires. Most economical tractor I ever owned. Bear in mind they are now 30 to 43 years old, thus require going over with a fine tooth comb, before buying.
