I am the proud owner of a 1965 IH 656 diesel utility. I have only had it a few months, but I've had lots of fun on it already. My question is : How rare is this tractor? I,ve seen lots of 656s , but not one "utility" model. Anyone know how many of these things they made in '65? Thanks in advance - GO RED POWER !!!!!

We got one in about 1976, it is still used a lot today. Been a pretty good tractor. Not sure of the year it was made.

The 664 (which was basically a 656 utility with the 239 german Diesel engine) was the rare one with only 898 built in 1973 & until the 674 was ready in early 1974. 899 built, mine is the 898th.

Spent lots of hours on one as an early teenager scraping the cow yard w/ a 3 pt blade. The one I drove had a very short wheel base. Could turn on a dime. If I remember correctly the front axle appeared to be reversed. Was this standard or an option?

About 41000 Farmalls, 8700 utilities, depends on what you call rare, I would just say "fewer".

Above numbers are totals. Your 1965 is one of a kind, as my book says production of the Utility did not start until 1966 -- 340.
