I've got backhoe of that same model on a Ford tractor. It attaches to the tractor by clamping to the rear axle housings and two arms that run to the front of the tractor and bolt to the sides of the frame.
It would likely be at least possible to fabricate parts to connect the front, if there is somewhere on the 656's front end designed to handle that much load.
The rear end, though, I'd be surprised. The Fords that that backhoe was designed for have a very different rear end; a pumpkin with the differential holding the axle ends together just like in a conventional car or truck. The 656 has the differential mounted forward of the axles and connects to them with pininons, bull gears, etc. The housing is much larger, probably won't fit between the arms of the backhoe. Also, unless by chance the backhoe's clamps happen to line up with the spot on the axle housing where attachments are supposed to attach the housing wouldn't take the stress.
You could probably get a Ford 4500 or 3500 for less than it would cost to modify the 656.
Good luck, Wm
