Hi everyone,
Have been reading posts and archives (a tremendous amount of information ... Thanks)... and wanted to ask opinions...
I started out looking for a Farmall letter series to have as a project... generally thinking an H or an M. Project being basic cleanup / restore / show / parade type tractor.
Ran across a 560D (by serial number it's a 1959) that someone traded into their local mechanic for various work.
He's looking to get his $2000 out of it.
I haven't gotten a chance to see it run yet (it's close to the girl friend's house... which is roughly 100 miles from me at home so I'm only there on the weekends). Was raining when I stopped to look at it yesterday so I didn't get a look at the tach to see what the hours are (assuming it works) and forgot to look closely at the serial plate to see if it's got the Delta stamp for having the rear-end recall/upgrade.
So... $2000 gets a reportedly good running 560D NF, FH w/3pt adapter with a 6 foot heavy duty bush hog. I know rears are about 30% tread. Fronts are a little worse off. Says he's got all the sheet metal stored inside.. tractor's outside with stack capped and battery compartment hood off. Looks like it will need a wiring harness soon (too many wires look loose/sloppy wthout some of the braided cable around them).
Am I nuts for even thinking about it? It's diesel which to my way of thinking adds some complexities to my ability to work on it. And way bigger than what I was planning on dealing with....
Will try to stop in and get pictures today and post later as I know pictures on here are worth more than I can type.

Today's Featured Article - The Great Escape - by Dave Hollrah. It all began Monday with a little baling of second crop on the lake shore field, and as I drove out past my sister and her hubby's place, this small calling sound could be heard from the general direction of their manure pile. Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
