Hello from Montana, I am planning on buying my first deere. I Curently own a Case 400 diesel, and a farmall H. both are field units. I need advice on The jhon deere model 60 or 70. I looked and drove a 1955 model 70 yesterday, the owner says he has had the unit for 20 years with no major issues. it has a 3 pt and new tires and of course new paint he is asking $6800. The fluids/oil check out. engine oil was low but clean. I have talked to several people that advise to stay away from the model 70s due to flywheel issues in general??. the price seems too high. the 1956 model 60 asking price (different owner) was $6500 and after several phone calls is now $5500 plus a $1000 shotgun. once again fresh paint and Power steering. the 60 is in better shape nose wise the 70 had several dents. both are 12 volt the 70 has a gen the 60 has an alt the 60 does not have a 3pt. both tractors appear to be clean. orig gauges working, No painting over dirt and grease. Both have small visiual issues old belt, torn seat, small oil leaks ect. The tractor will be used in FFA Parades and Threshing bees. any advise on the 60 vs 70 would be great. The wife say's forget both and buy a ford 8N. for $2800. Gary, MT.
