This isnt just a reply just to Ray but to everyone.....It was announced at the sale that the family would be bidding on some items and the high dollar 560 could have been one of them..It wasnt an estate sale as I talked to the owner...
I wouldnt pay $8500 for any 560 but all this one needed was paint..It had no oil leaks...The engine started and ran great and didnt slobber like lots of them do...The TA worked..The fast hitch wasnt all busted up like lots that I see..You can easily drop over 10K in totally restoring a 560 diesel....I've seen it done..
560's often get a bad rap but I'll bet there were 20 of them in my county when I was growing up..They were the main tractor on some of the biggest and best farms and made their owners lots of money...Some probably had 5000-10,000 hours on them before they got rid of them..Several were traded for 4010 JD's while others were traded for 806 IH's..
I grew up on a 1959 model 460 diesel that was 4 years old when Dad got it in 1963...It came from a large farm and already had 3000 hours on it and the tires were bald..It probably wasnt the best tractor we ever owned but I have great memories of it..I bid on the 460 diesel pictured above that sold yesterday for $2600..It definitely needed an engine OH.....My $1500 1958 model 560 diesel needs an OH as it will barely start on an 90 degree day with 6 new glow plugs in it..

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
