dboll said: (quoted from post at 14:22:19 09/27/13) ....do not even look at a 460 gas they are a gutless, cold blooded dog, a 560 is a little better....I was never very fond of any Farmall gas and I wouldn't want any of the 3 Farmalls in a dsl. ,they are guys that can make a 3020 gas run, I have heard of guys putting TB injection on them, a 3020 dsl. is a very nice tractor and will be superior to any IH of the era in regard to hydraulics, handling, operator convenience ect., Case and Oliver were among the few companies that could make a gas tractor run decent
To elaborate on Doug's not necessarily wrong comment but possibly unfair one (and to elaborate on my previous post too):
The 460 is the evolution of the h, 300, 350 with many updates and a 6 cylinder motor added. (compared to this lineage it has the most hp and is not a gutless wonder but is more of a physically big yet relatively low hp tractor relative to its physical size. So Big/little or Little/big tractor comment jokes are pretty common but that does not necessary make it bad for some uses).
That all said: Many farmers back in the day viewed the model number 460 and mistakenly thought the 460 was of the M, 400, 450 lineage only with a 6 cylinder motor added. (The 460 is indeed a gutless wonder compared to this lineage and many people were disappointed as a result).
I fully agree with Doug in that an Oliver would possibly be better than anything you have listed thus far. Oliver 1655, 1650, or even 1600 models would be the ones I would consider.

In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders.

All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
