I still have the IH 656D gear drive my dad bought new in 1967. On the 3rd tach but added together they total 30,876 hours. We farmed 960 acres with it as our big tractor including turning a PTO combine for the 1st 8 years. Then added a used 806 so it saw lighter loads then. Since 1980 about all it's done was cutting and raking hay, hauling manure, moving bales, spraying, etc. Dad passed away in 2006 and gave it to me a week before he passed. The tractor was extremely worn when I got it but had never had the engine opened up, only injectors and pump had been worked on up until then. Had several clutches, a couple of pinion bearings, axle bearings, pto clutches, and 2 TA replacements over the years. I went completely through the engine with new everything. The TA is starting to slip again and I"ve got some noise in the rear end but I'll own this one till I die. Shedded all it's life and still has original paint and sheet metal looks great. Don't have a son so maybe a nephew will be deserving some day.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
