KB: All this talk of rear end troubles in 460 and 560 kind of rings hollow with me. Now I realize my 560 was a 1963 and the problem had been cured by then. However I know guys who had 58, 59 and 60 and were using them in logging operations with those Canadian Ice chains. (That is the one with big ring and corks like on horse shoes on the ring. My 560 logged many hours with those forwarding logs out to where a truck could get to. Big sleds with 8' bunks.

Funny you should mention the 54,74 and 84 series tractors and the British utilites before them. Here if you used a set of those ice chains on any of those tractors your warrenty on transmission and rear end was null and void. They put it right in the contract when they sold the tractor. We never got any warnings like that with a new Farmall. I had a logging winch first on 300 and then put it on 560 and those tractors would spin those ice chains on hard ice. So it definately wasn't shock that was hard on rear ends, must have been heat build up. Heat build up would not be a factor in logging operation, as tractor is probably parked 40% of the day, hitching and unhitching.
