I own 2 Farmall 560's. One is a 1962 narrow front with fast hitch, and I payed $2200 for it. The other is a 1959 wide front with fast hitch, and I payed $2600 for that one. The 560 is one of my favorite tractors around the farm, and I use both of mine quite frequently. The first 560's that came out did have problems with bearings in the rear end, but many of those tractors were recalled and had the updated kit put into them. Currently, my '62 is my pulling tractor. I have done some major work to the motor, and it dyno's around 94 horse, and never had a problem with any mechanical functions, and it even has the stock clutch parts. My '59 is pretty much stock, and I haven't had any problems with it. Personally, they may have had a rough start, but for practical use around the farm, it does everything and I'm very happy I have them. I tuned my '59, and plowing blue clay with 4 14's, it only took 4 gallons per hour which is great. As for hydraulic power, never had a problem there either. It'll pick up my heavy 14ft disk without grunting. Just all depends on how well the previous owner took care of it. 4500 sounds a little high to me, but if the motor, tires, steering, sheetmetal, and torque amplifier are in good shape, then I wouldn't flinch at that price. Best of luck to ya!!

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
