A friend of mine recently purchased a "66 Farmall 656 at an auction (s/n correct). It is a wife front, diesel, w/ pto & hyd, no 2/3pt, just the horseshoe drawbar support and drawbar like on an H/M. The serial tag shows McCormick Farmall, as do the side tins, not International. My two cosmetic questions are about the grill/grill screen and the make and model designation tins.
First, I have seen 656s with a white grill screen but this unit has a bar grill like what you would see on a bigger 56 series machine. Is this tractor supposed to have a white grill screen or the bar grill?
Secondly, the horizontal tins are painted white reading McCormick Farmall and the verical tin is painted white as well with the model number at the bottom as usual. My question is this the correct paint sceme for this machine? Do "International" branded tractors only have the white horizontal and then the model number on red?
Thank you for your time.
