59 horsepower diesel,63 gas. Although most diesels have been turned up a little,that same engine in other tractors cranks out 70+ hp. It'll pull a 7 foot bush hog great (will pull a 15 footer),2 bottom plow(will pull a 3 or 4 but it works it hard) and an 8 to 14 foot disk. All in all a good old solid tractor. If you work it real hard you will have head gasget problems(juse put a new one on). I have 2 one gas and one diesel. The diesels are slow to start because of the glow plug setup but they will start when other diesels are just plain too cold.The gassers suck the gas,tons of it but the diesels run very cheaply. The TA is a weak point on the 560's,every one I have ever bought was out when I got it. Anywhere from $2000 to $5000 depending on the condition. If it runs good and looks pretty good,I'd say around $3000 as a starting price. The wide front axle out of it will bring $1000 by itself. I would'nt take $5000 for mine and mines ugly but mechanically perfect.
Oh yea ,the later years had heavier bearings in the rear end,some of the earlier ones had trouble with the axle bearings going bad,most were warrantied and fixed at the dealer when new.

Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
