I bought a 656 gas hydro last year from a guy who said the hydro was weak but worked fine for a loader tractor. He told me he had not changed the tranny fluid in the twenty years he owned it because "it still looks good". The first thing I did was take it to the shop and have the pump tested. It tested 1300# in forward and 2500# in reverse. They then changed the oil and filter and replaced a twisted metal line from one of the valves. Pressures went up to 2800# in forward and the full 5000# in reverse. It still slips in high range when hot but we just went through one of the worst winters on record up here in North Dakota and I pushed and piled snow for hours with it and I must say it was like running in a dream compared to my old 560. It scratches like a cat and even with the weak hydro it is more than adequate for mowing, baling and loader work. It is especially nice hooked to my NH 315 baler because I can match the ground speed perfectly to the windrow, something I always had to ride the clutch on the 560 to do. I also paid $4000 for mine but other than the weak hydro the tractor is practically cherry. I suspect your oil and filter are most of the problem but of course there my be more major things to consider. Just giving you my experience for what it's worth.
