1965 - 605/655 Tractor

[MikesRJ 555]

Does anyone own either a 1965 605 or 655 tractor? I ask because I found a manual but did not recall ever seeing anyone post about one or the other. I searched the boards and couldn't locate a single post concerning either.

There was one for sale in Binghamton NY craigslist for $400. Only one I've ever seen.

I've got a 655, it's for sale $150 runs and drives

Ive got a 655 except has a 8 horse briggs in it. and a butchered hood to make it fit.Since this subject has been brought up is there any physical differences between a 655 and 855 I know where there is or was a trashed 855 with original kohler kind of been pondering on taking 2 and building a original 855.

anybody willing to visit kelly and bring a tractor to southern indiana I will buy you a beer when you get here. Kelly its a shame youre so far away.

I have a 605. It currently has a 10 horse Tecumseh medium frame engine on it, use it to plow, disc and cultivate my garden. Got an L-156 Lawn Ranger for the yard.

Are there questions you want to ask? Its a pretty straight forward 3 speed tractor, originaly with a pull start H60 Tecumseh belted to a 3 speed unidrive. Short frame square hood. 32" gear drive RD Quick-tach deck, with foot controlled belt tensioner pto.

That is what my 655 has for a engine med. frame 10hp tucky, needs carb work but runs pretty good, tractor is ruff, but is usable.

Seems fair to say then that these must be a pretty rare model then, or one that wore out quicker than most, seeing how we have a few thousand members and only a handful of machines out there.

I've got a 655 that I'm parting out. If you need something, let me know.

The motor and Ag tires are gone and I am keeping the transmission to replace the one in my 702.

Thanks,

Dave

I have a 655 but not the original motor or seat. Hood has also been replaced because someone wanted to cut the original one to pieces.

Looking at the post and the fact I know were 2 more are sitting not far from me. Both missing engines. They appear to be clustered a little further south than other models. :D

[Kelly 1,030]

But I have 3 656's same tractor just a year newer, and I know where a few more 655 and 656, 657 tractors are, far from Rare just not very popular, and the tuckys gave up so I'm sure a bunch were junked.

[puddlejumper 67]

I will concur with the techy giving up. I dont believe anybody has mentioned a original engine as of yet.

[Kelly 1,030]

Even my almost all orig 656 has a new replacment hh60 in it, but has all the oig tin on it.

[B-8074 19]

I just picked one up for $50 bucks, and it's all original right down to the seat cover and tires. Now it I could only get it to start!! I guess I should've mentioned it's a 655. :D

Here is mine before I started in on refreshing it. All the small stuff is done. Tranny and motor next. And mine also had a replacement engine in it. 8hp Kohler. Having a lot of fun working on it.

I have one. This old girl is almost completely factory original. Not a dent, and no rebuild on the engine.
