Grew up with H, M, 400, W9, and a 660 gas. When I started buying and collecting tractor it was mostly Case. Have had some nice IH and Moccormick tractors over the past years like WD-9, W-400 diesel, 660 diesel, IH 600 diesel and some farmall M's that I have sold.
Couple of years ago I acquired several stuck WD9's, one with a motor torn apart with hand clutch. I was lucky to find a complete motor. Which led to a nice find of a SWD-6 that was also for sale. This was in July that I got the motor. In Oct I made the journey back to Billings MT. (I live in Sturgis SD) I bought the SWD-6 to go with the W-4, W-6, W-9 that I already had. Pictures to follow.
Then in Nov. I found a IH 650 for sale in Great Falls MT. Another road trip which turned out to be in a snow storm. Tractor did not run at the time and we had to winch it on with come-a-longs as there was to much snow for pick ups to pull it on. Trip home was much nice weather. Pictures to follow.
Next there was a sale just down the road from me in Dec. I really didn't have any intentions of buying anything. Well there was a 560 Farmall gas that was selling to cheap so anyways I ended up buying it. Wow no road trip, just 3 miles away. Now another IH/Farmall to my collection.
Been a long winter, no new tractors of any kind. Almost 6 month with out a new addition. Started putting my Farmall 400 together (engine job) that I tore apart about 5 yr's ago. Must of gave me the fever as there was a sale coming up with a 560 diesel standard. I ended up buying it over the phone during the auction (25th of May). I went and got it yesterday and got it home last night. Was about 40 miles away. It is a bit rougher than what the picture showed. Does have great sheet metal and tires. Pictures to follow story. Hope you will enjoy the story and photo's. caseman-d
PS< forgot to mention the 400 ran for the first time today in over 5 years

Today's Featured Article - The Day Tractor Lovers Dream About - by Angus Crawford. The day started at five o'clock on the morning of Friday, the January 29, 1999. My father, my sister, my uncle, my cousin and myself all climbed into my uncle's Toyota van. It was six thirty in the morning and we had a long day ahead. We traveled for six and a half hours to our destination - a little country town with a population of no more then one hundred and fifty people (57 of them being children under the age of thirteen). We arrived hoping to meet up with a man we knew had over one
