My father has had one of these for 20+ years.I spent alot of time on it when I was at home.Was allways a good reliable tractor.His had a TA which gave it good speed range for most jobs.Also has far more power than it's tires could handle,seemed a bit traction limited in some respects.
The 6 cylinder engines allways seemed to run much better than the 4's.
His was equiped with a Westendorf loader which was very nice,although the hydraulics allways seemed a bit slow,however they were alsos very control-able which was nice for a loader.
Value wise,I'm not sure.They are apparently somewhat rare(at least in Iowa) as his is the only one I've ever seen.I know he had a heck of a time finding sheet metal after it had a run-in with a tornado.The parts seem to be fairly easy to get however as most seem to be common with the 460/560.
If your looking for a project and something that you could use when your done,go for it.
