656 in the Field
Farmall 656 tractor sitting next to a couple of grain bins near Alvo, NE. The coffee can on the exhaust is not a factory item.
Destined to replace the 06 series, the 56 series was introduced in 1965 with a single model: the 656. International’s Farmall 656 was billed as a 12-month worker, efficient enough to handle lighter utility work and powerful enough to pull a 4-5 bottom plow.
The Farmall 656 was released as an individual model without much fanfare. In the first production year, only Farmall versions of 656 were available. Customers could order their 656 with one of two available six-cylinder engines. The C-263 gasoline or LP engine provided about 64 horsepower at the power takeoff. The D-282 diesel offered about the same power but with more torque, longevity, and fuel efficiency.
