ebook: I know what your saying, and a lot of folks ask that question, what are the weak points of a certain model? Rather silly question in my books.
The first of the 560s are now 50 years old, probably have been completely rebuilt a couple of times. I don't really think there is a good amswer to your question. Most likely the items that got overlooked at last rebuild. The hour meter probably failed a couple of times during tractors history, thus you can't be sure of hours. Then if you find one that's never been rebuilt, probably gummed up with sludge from condensation.
Truth is once you start buying tractor over 20 years old, every tractor has to be gone over with a fine tooth comb. Nothing can be overlooked. Tractor weakness always shows up in the first 10 years from new. Between 10 and 20 years, depending on hours, normal wear and tear starts show up all over the tractor.
