Speculation on my part but my impression was IH was pushing for a redevelopment in that size but all the R & D was being utilized to get the 706 and 806 off the drawing board. So in essence when 1963 rolled around there was very little done on this size and IH most likely felt it spent more than it wanted to to get the 06 tractors manufactured so a redevelop concept was used from the 60 series. Kind of the same thing with Deere and the New Generation tractors. It cost more than Deere anticipated to bring out the 3010 and 4010 tractors and they were the first priority for development versus the utilities. So in the end I believe the decision was made to skimp on the Dubuque Deeres because the overall R & D went far above estimate during the years the 3010 and 4010 were being developed. Deere also had a gap in their line as there should have been something between the 3010 and 4010. To sum things up the 06 required more R & D time and money than expected and that flat out put the 60 hp tractor behind schedule. IH also felt the need to tighten the belt after the 06 thus the redeveloped 60 series concept.
