Steven: I've yet to find a 560 that had the rear end upgrade either. My 560D cranked out 11,000 hours, in 17 years. 14 of those years it was my main work horse. That was probably higher than average hours per year. I replaced 2nd-3rd driven gear once as it got in 3rd and 4th same time, from shift lever wear, and I dropped the clutch. Now, they all did that all the way back to 1939. Not exactly a 560 exclusive. We've all seen those photos out of the mid west, concrete wheel weights very little smaller than inside diameter of 38" rim, on single 15.5x38 tires loaded with chloride. Then they had the gaul to blame the moldboard plow for soil compaction.
In the end it was 2 pistons in the middle of the barnyard that took my 560 down. That was not the fault of the D-282, but rather the cheap mechanic that talked me into a cheap rebuild, with sleeves that didn't fit the hole. Well, between him and the kid that left it knocking at full throttle and went for help. Just prooves cheap help is actually unemployable. In 1978 I couldn't bring myself to spend $4,000. for a D-282 short block, on a tractor with no 3 point hitch. Besides the IH dealer had a used 2,000 hour 766 for roughly $8,000.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
