I bought this Farmall 560 (60 H.P.) tractor from a local dealer in 1988. It is rough looking but it runs well.

| The FARMALL 560 was built from 1958-1963. You could buy one with gas, propane or diesel engine that put out 60 horsepower. The 6 cylendar engine is smooth and responsive, and enhanced by a Torque Amplifier. It is considered to be a 5 plow tractor.

| Shortly after buying the Farmall, I cleaned it up and painted it. It still needs restoring, which I am working on. |

| The model FARMALL 560 that I am holding is made in one eighth scale. It is eight and one fourth inches to the top of the radiator. The full size tractor is 67 inches to the top of its radiator. |

| There are books full of information about all kinds of tractors. A favorite of mine is "How to Restore your Farm Tractor". It has information on repair manuals, parts sources, clubs and newsletters. Also techniques for show and work tractor restoration. |

This is my John Deere STX 38 powered by a 12.5 H.P. Kohler engine. My grandson, Colby, has been helping mow the lawn since he was 4 months old. |
