We had a 784 and the rest old case 1070 1370 and 2 1570 and a tri cycle triple range I can't remember the number just got rid of the 1896 it was in great shape but doesn't do good on the hills we work with now so it's all 4wheel drive now but we got 1 case left the farm all 70 and the rest are kubota like your line a equipment
Hi Russ you aren't doing anything wrong on that 656 when that guy said take the valve cover off with the fuel tank on it take the fuel tank off then you will have alot more room to work on it with fuel tank off well you will have plenty of room to see everything clearly when you work on it
Glad you are feeling better. Lot of memories in that old sputter start. Speaking of memories...and the wick bar on the front. I remember a day, when it was in use on this tractor, Bobby was out in the field across from the end of your driveway. I was with Gran Gran (our grand father for those of you who don't know and are reading this) and we heard a sudden rev of the engine and an abrupt silence. We drove over to find Bobby had run the front tire into a massive hole and couldn't back out. We took a log chain and tied it from the side of a flatbed truck to a loop around and through through those rear spoke wheels on the back. He was able to use that as leverage to pull himself out of the hole. It's a wonder he didn't break the front axle off...but then again, they made tractors different back then. The wick bar on the tractor would pivot back to the sides for transport. There were two bars and they lived in the bottom of the grain barn for decades. If you don't find the original weight bar...you may consider using the old yellow brackets as a base for a new one. Just don't ask me to describe the way they would use a hill to kick start it when it had a dead battery.
No TA on this one. My grandfather bought it new in 66. That is a forward/ reverse lever on this particular one. It was built from the factory to mount a cotton picker on it. Google tractor mounted cotton pickers. They run with the tractor in reverse. I’ve been around Farmalls and IH tractors all my life. I do know when you pull back on a TA it doesn’t go backwards like this one. Thanks for watching.
I have worked on a 460 and a 560 and that gas tank is a pain. We would take out the 4 bolts that bolt it down to the clutch housing and put a block in there to get it up to work on the motor. Is this tractor a hydro?
That forward reverser is a VERY rare option on a 656 and it seems to be a factory fender delete or had clam shell fenders since the lights are mounted on the side of the hood that way. I’m restoring a early model 656 as well it has the aftermarket Swartz front axle like on yours as well as it’s a diesel. Mines just a regular 656 with the Torque amplifier rather than the forward reverser. Ours came from Mississippi and has certainly seen better days. You should post some pictures of it on the Red Power Forum as many people would like to see it and may be able to help you with anything.
Great video and will be good to watch the progress! "Might as well do it right". That's the best way to make it last, and look the best, or in my opinion anyway. Glad your feeling better. 👍
@@Thomasfarmstn A Farmall 806 would look really nice in your collection. 👍🏻 The most expensive tractor to try & buy or sale is one with sentimental attachment. 😆😅 That goes for whatever the condition of the tractor. 😆 Merry Christmas to you & your family.
Thats the difference in a 282 and a 414. 282 was one of the hardest starting IH engines and the 400 series were the best. I remember using wick bars, I kinda remember that one on that 656. Usually had Roundup in them.
You ain't doing nothin wrong! Keep at it! I in framed my old 656 hydro 10 years ago, now have my dads 606 in the shop getting an in frame. I'm not much for painting them but as long as the mechanicals are good, I'm happy! Waiting to see your progress!
Reminds me of my 656 I had . It was a 1965 farmall row crop changed over to wide front end . It was a diesel as well . Every hose was either rusted or rotted . Isn't the lever on the left side hi/low ? Mine as and was stuck in high . I sold it before I got to the make it pretty part .
@@Thomasfarmstn I mentioned it because one side of that tractor was lit up good but the other side was really dark. Anyway, the difference is dramatic huh?
No, yes 656 came with fender but this one didn’t have them. It was setup for a cotton picker. The tractor was purchased without the cotton picker. This is the way I’ve known this tractor and don’t plan on changing that.
My family and I just bought a 66 F656 just like yours. It was sitting for 10 years before we got it, but started right up on the old fuel. I'm gonna follow your channel closely abd look forward to seeing the old girl shine.
That sure is a good lookin tractor Russ! We go to the tractor show down here most every year and see some beautiful older tractors. They have a little of everything. I enjoyed it buddy!
Hey Russ, glad to hear you’re feeling alright, thinking you are probably over the roughest, hopefully Christmas is good for you!! Nice to see you in the shop working on the 656, will be a nice restoration project to walk us through!! Thoughts and prayers 🙏 for you and your family!! 🙏👍🍺🙏👍🍺🙏

I need to finish that tractor Mike.
Man, wish i had a foreward reverse. Did they give trouble? .mine has a loader
No troubles that I know of. My grandfather had a loader at one time on it. I got to get back on this project again.
Where can I find engine answers for this tractor model?
Parts or questions? For questions you might want to google. For parts All States Ag, Shoup or Steiner.

Thats the torque amp lever...NOT FOWARD OR REVERSE....the gear selector is on the right side....we own a 1970 656 diesel

They were low compression gas engine converted to diesel. Are you gonna be down this way anytime soon?
It worked for awhile I guess it was rusted out by the time I saw it sitting in the fence row
Hey Russ, how are you doing today??
Good. The soreness is back.
@@Thomasfarmstn maybe a good thing??? On your way back to normal 👍
Can’t wait to see how great it turns out. Take care and have a blessed day.
Thanks Tony. Don’t tell anyone but it’s gonna be green!

I sold it before I got to the make it pretty part .
No this one is forward reverse.
Is yours hydrostatic ? Mine was hi/ low TA on the left and 5 gears on the right .
Starts like a John Deere LOL! Glad you're feeling better. How is your dad doing?
I’m doing good. He hasn’t came out of the house.
@@Thomasfarmstn well, prayers for your dad's quick recovery.
That is when it is nice to have at least 2 tractors. Use one for the farm work while fixing the other.
That’s the plan. When your lively hood depends on equipment you must be prepared.
When you’re able, look into replacing your lighting in there with LED. Brian at Brians Farm Videos just replaced some and it was dramatic. 👍
The front part has been changed over to LED.
@@Thomasfarmstn I mentioned it because one side of that tractor was lit up good but the other side was really dark. Anyway, the difference is dramatic huh?
Hows everyone feeling today?
We are all doing better.
I love to see the older machines still doing their thing!
Like seeing those old iron red tractors good see you getting better
The old iron is paid for. That’s my favorite part
My grandmother had a weed wicker
The rest of this one is still around.
Are you going to add fenders? I don't recall if I've ever seen fenders on a 656 or not
No, yes 656 came with fender but this one didn’t have them. It was setup for a cotton picker. The tractor was purchased without the cotton picker. This is the way I’ve known this tractor and don’t plan on changing that.
Where is the serial number?
I’m thinking on the right hand side on the bell housing. I’ll have to look to be sure.

Love to see old iron comin back to life
We got several of them to bring back to life.

Halleluha! spelled that wrong. We'll be up there after christmas and I'll see if I can lend you a couple hands
Come on up!

It may not shine but look better.
When are y’all gonna tear into the 5088?

You need Cole the Cornstar to clean up your shop.🤣 I'm kidding. My garage is a complete mess & I wish he would come clean it for me.
Yep needs a serious cleaning. The difference between me and Cole is I’m not gonna make a video of me cleaning it when I do, lol!
I hate cleaning the garage. I know where what is.🤣
Glad you're feeling better. Stay away from those Corbin's & Kelton's.
10/4!
I got a drone coming. Might get some overhead footage of chopping leaves. Cole the Cornstar hasn’t thought of that.
Good video Russ. Glad to see you feel at least good enough to mess with the 856.
Send me an email. thomasfarmstn@gmail.com. I got something for you.
@@Thomasfarmstn I meant 656. I got fat fingers.
