also after all this fussing, have you ever changed the air filter?
it should be a very capable tractor. We had a 656 gas, with the C263 engine. Used to chop corn with it--Barge boxes and a 1 row JD chopper, later a 718 NH 1 row (both not quite the size of rigs compared to today's machines). Plowed in 3rd gear with an IH 3-18 auto reset in mostly clay type soils. Today it still runs strong. It will pull a 9'6" Discbine (rated for 80hp minimum) up through 3rd gear in grass. It's always used 4 gallons (US) per hour of gas under full load, and much much less doing light work.
also, change the hydraulic filter, clean the screen and drain *all* the hydraulic oil, inspecting for signs of shavings or broken parts. wouldn't hurt to send the hyd oil in for analysis if you want to know all about it :)
