My 90 year-old uncle started farming in 1940 with a steel-wheeled Fordson and a team of horses. Bought a new H in 1946, had a pair of Ms, a Ford 8N and JD 2010 (both briefly), a 460 and finished out his career with a WFE gas 560. He claims the 560 was the best gas farm tractor that IH ever made, used to rag on my cousin about his 656 diesel not keeping up with the old man's 560 in haying seasons. One of the ol' varmint's favorite things in life, was a call from a neighbor to come pull something out with his 560. Never had any TA or final drive problems with that 560 gasser and that thing got a hard workout on the farm. Other than normal maintenence items, I don't think that tractor ever cost him a nickel in the ten years he worked it.
