Just to be clear, my ONLY point is, the 656 shares the smaller clutch housing bolt pattern, and side rail-to-clutch housing bolt pattern, with the H and 460. Which is a bit surprising to me, as the 656 shares the more powerful 60+ hp 263 engine with the 560 and 706. And, the 656 "appears" to have a very beefy rear end, perhaps even more beefy than a 560.
So why would IH choose to use the smaller clutch housing, I guess, is my delimma??
I have no personal knowledge of internal part sizes, and am not implying anything in my observation.
This is strictly a "structural thing", for me.
When I say "structural", I mean.... the larger clutch housing-to-engine pattern of a 560 is a larger "truss", capable of handling more load/bending/twisting, which only makes sense when a larger 60+ hp engine is being employed. Also, the side rail bolt pattern on a 560 is larger (than a 460), capable of providing more structural rigidity....yet IH choose to use the smaller 460 pattern for the 656. ....
I always thought of a 656 as a heavier tractor... yet in a way, it isn't, at least in this area.

It didn't have a pressure release or electric start to facilitate easy starting but according to the instructions, simply pulling on the trigger while cranking was sufficient. This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
