To answer your real question. Yes they will fit, and although not a factory option, will work very well. Make a mounting bracket out of 1/2 plate steel. Drill four holes in it to match the mounting holes on the axel housing. Make the plate long enough to go to the edge of the axel housing. You could go longer, but then you couldn't move your wheels in all the way. I would weld a thin strip of steel on the very edge of the plate and another one paralel to the edge so that the fender's bottom edge will have somthing on either side of it. This keeps it from shifting sideways. To mount the fenders on the bracket, use a 1/2 inch or thicker steel bar under the axel housing with two holes in it (like what is used to mount a rear cultivator or loader) and two 3/4 inch bolts. This setup will hold a lot better than ubolts and the fenders WILL NOT slip.
I have a set of 656 flat tops on a 350 and love them. They don't look factory, but are FAR better for utility as they actually protect you from things. They also allow you to put you hand on them when mowing or baling ditches so you don't feel like you are falling off the tractor. They also greatly improve your lighting.
BTW, I also made a platform thet goes from the existing transmission cover to the fenders, added a front step and made a sturdy grab handle for ease of getting on and off as I added a three-point on the back. All of these additions were made so they could be removed and leave no signs of permanent alterations to the basic tractor.

I think you will like the flat tops on your tractor. If you would like to know how I made the platform or grab handle. let me know.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce ... [Read Article]
