Hi again Paul,

Honestly, the continuity between the "S" terminal and the starter did not strike me as bad but now that you have explained it, something is definately fishy in Denmark. I need to check that again tomorrow. I don't think I touched the solenoid wires when I R&R'ed the head but its been a long winter and I have been somewhat stir-crazed many days.

I can't tell you much about the 560 as it was a tractor left to me by my late father-in-law. The last time he used it was with a JD #46 loader which I still have. The loader is not on the tractor right now. I last worked on the 560 over twenty years ago to plant a few acres of wheat. It has sat unused almost since that time. With the passing of my father-in-law several years ago, the old west Texas farm where I had used the 560 passed to other relatives. I now have little need for a tractor larger than my '52 Ford 8N which I use with a shredder on about 3 acres of downtown property. After looking out the window for the past four years at the old 560 sadly looking as if it had lost its last friend, my wife and I decided we probably should sell it to someone who could use it. To make a long story short, this past winter I got after it and replaced the gauges, the front tires, the seat, a leaking hydraulic manifold, removed the sheet metal and gave it all a good sand-blasting and a new coat of Farmall red and white and repaired everything that was broken or stuck. Putting the old Farmall back into shape has been a lot of fun but electrical problems always drive me up a wall.

You may have some luck someday with a 560 "following" you home. I think mine is like an old riding horse; it wants to stay in the barn it is used to.

I will let you know as I get things straightened out.

Ron
