I have the possibility of picking up an International 656 tractor. It appears to be in pretty good shape, not certain of the total hours yet, but the engine was rebuilt in 2018. Looks like they used it for brush hogging. Has dual rear hydraulic remotes, Tires are in decent shape, paint is original, a little faded, but no rust or horrible weathering. No cab but has the ROPS with hard sun shade. All together doesn't look to bad. I might be able to get it in the $3500 range, which doesn't seem bad for a 50+-hp tractor.

Ok, tried to attach the photo but guess I can't remember how.
I have no experience with these tractors though, so I'm looking for anyone's input, good or bad. I don't really need it, but may have a large mowing contract this summer, so I'd be putting it to use for that (old closed industrial area that has been capped and turned into field grass).
Thanks,
Bill
