    740 Ford row crop Hi Clearence

    I just came across a 1956 740 Ford tractor for sale and I have no idea what the value of this tractor might be. It cranks and runs good, looks ok , sheet metal is good to average, and all gears are good as well as the clutch. Brakes are ok but may need adjusting or replacing . Pretty descent...

    Wards Twin Row - is it an Oliver under the paint?

    Was at a yard/garage sale the other day. Fellow had a nicely restored Wards Twin Row. Cast manifold had "OLIVER" cast in the side of it in BOLD letters. I know Wards didn't manufacture stuff, just retailed other's products, some custom labeled with Ward's brand names.... Would the Twin Row be...

    656 PTO problem

    Morning guys, My 656 Hydro pto did something it shouldn't have the other day and I need some advice. I have an F-11 loader on it and when I pulled the lift lever to pick up a big bale nothing happened. I looked around and saw that the pto would stop spinning when I hit the lift lever. After...

    656 Fenders

    Don't have a clue. The one I have has one jury-rigged up front by the radiator. I'm assuming the only lights they came with were mounted in the fenders but I haven't seen one with the original fenders on it. The fenders on my 560 were gone too when I bought it and I have no idea what they...

    656 Fenders

    I just saw that a guy posted a set of square 656 fenders for sale on a local website. He's asking $500 for them which I wouldn't pay but if I could get them for $2-300 would they add any value to my 656 Hydro? Except for the hydro the tractor's in pretty nice shape otherwise. I don't really...

    F-21 loader

    The bucket tilt rams on my F-21 loader have not been holding up the bucket when it's loaded for years but lately they are getting so bad that I can barely drive when I have a big bale on the grab fork. Can the seals in the rams be replaced and how hard a job is it to do that. I'm assuming the...

    656 Water in Hydraulic Oil

    Ron, I have the same problem with my 560. There gets to be an incredible amount of water in that oil in a short time. I changed the oil two or three times one winter without much improvement and the tractor was stored inside the garage so I know it wasn't rain water. I finally installed a...

    806 stuck in fourth gear

    I found an 806 on a local website for $2,200. The seller says it starts and runs excellent but is stuck in fourth gear. It has a Schwartz loader, Cozy-Cab, block heater, rear tires are 80%, front tires are new. How much of a problem is the stuck gear? My old 560 shift was so worn it always...

    68' 656 hydro

    I bought a 656 Hydro with a weak pump last year and it still makes a super loader tractor for feeding hay and pushing snow but as soon as the oil heats up it starts slipping. Not a problem in the winter as the oil stays cooler but mowing hay in the heat yesterday it was really noticable. Top...

    656 Hydro PTO

    Hi guys, I was looking through the specs for my 656 on the external_link site a while ago and noticed that they list the 656 Farmall with a 540/1000 PTO. How do I know which I have on my tractor and how do you switch from one to the other? I was thinking of buying an older round baler like a...

    656 Hydro Diesel

    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...

    560 steering

    I've got exactly the same problem except mine has power to the left and nothing to the right. I've spent about $600 on mechanics already and they haven't figured it out. My guess it one of the hydrolic lines is plugged and oil doesn't flow that direction but I've been told that it's a major...

    Allan, could you please e-mail me? I had a post on this site about 6 months ago and we tried to get connected but the e-mail addresses never worked. I need to talk to you about the tuneup you are refering to. Thanks.
