I felt the same way when I began working on the M that my wife inherited after her father past. I married into a farming family (im a teacher and my wifes a banker but grew up farming) so I had no clue about tractors either, I did have a basic knowledge of how engines work but i had never worked on them. What I can tell you is that I have learned a great deal from the gentlemen on this site and just diving right in. I know that an M is a pretty basic and easy machine to work on and my brother in law has a 560 and he says its not much more difficult than my M...Just remember that there is no such thing as free, im finding that out right now as I diganose an engine problem, BUT it is a lot of fun.
My advise, learn as much as you can about Farmall 560's, read-research-ask questions, then go to your 560 and check to make sure your engine is not stuck, check power going to the entire electrical system with a good battery, make sure you have fuel moving through the carb, make sure the starter is not stuck, and make sure you have a very good ground from the battery. Once you get it running you'll be hooked, trust me!! Id also pick colby's brain a bit, hes doing one hell of a job on his 560!! Best of luck....~Anthony
