I recently found a 1965 Farmall 656 Diesel on Craigslist for $5000. I went to see it today with my father and met the current owner. The clutch and TA were replaced professionally two years ago. The current owner used it to pull for about a year. The tractor drives nice and sounds good as far as I can tell. The owner did mention that he thought the engine would be needing rings replaced on account of the occasional blowback of smoke. The fast hitch appears to work fine and the PTO has been used consistently for grinding the last year. Is this a good deal and how big of a repair will ring replacement be? Any general advice/information in regards to this tractor would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Peter Markel
