We bought a new '67 656 gas. I never was satisified with the tractor. From day one we had problems with it hanging up between gears. Dealer worked on it several times but never could get the problem solved.
We had a 450 g at the same time that had oversized pistons in it. It would pull rings around the 656. The 4 cylinder engine seemed to have a lot more low end toque than the 656's 6 cylinder.
In '71 I traded the 450 for an 806D to use as our main horse. My wife would lots rather run the 806 than the 656, even in cold weather even though the 656 had an IH ice cream cab & the 806 was open station.
Traded the 656 for a new 1066 in '75. Mention the 656 today & my wife will make some comment about that "POS" tractor. I despised it & she hated it worse than I did.
I bought a 756 gas about 4 years ago to use an auger tractor & to mount the CIH #1300 sickle bar mower on. If I was looking for a tractor in that size I would look at a 765. More hp, & a lot better shifting arrangement,heavier rear end componeents, plus you have 16 gears forward & 8 reverse compared to 10 forward & 2 reverse with the 656.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
