cride383 40 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I have posted on here a few times about this tractor after buying it at an auction last fall. It was supposed to be a cheap tractor for moving wagons around the farm. After all the issues that I found and fixed figured along as it was tore down might as well paint it to. Turned out to be not so cheap and undecided on what its duties will be. 15 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ray54 908 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Now that it is pretty you can just look at or park it out front so everybody can look at it. Maybe a little roof like Danny did for his roadside marker tractor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dale560 2,309 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 They are a nice looking tractor when fixed up. And yours is very nice. That shows how much work it is to fix one up. Hours of removing parts just to clean and fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
axial_al 215 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Good job on the 560!  Looks just like my ‘59 diesel in that it has a 450 style seat and cast front wheels.  Mine is second owner and I always assumed someone had to swap seat and wide front since most 560’s have steel front wheels and a suspension style seat.  I discovered those cast front wheels use a different bearing than the steel wheel hub.  Good luck.

cride383 40 Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thanks for all the responses guys. I think it will probably see some hay raking duty and maybe run the flail chopper some 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

560Dennis 1,399 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Are those the same rear tires that came with the tractor? if so excellent! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dale560 2,309 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The flat tops on originally were Oliver fenders. Dads scam artist buddy had a really nice gas 560 like this. He put a set of MM clam shell fenders on it they looked nice but he left them yellow . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If those Oliver flat tops aren't rusted out they could be worth most of what you paid for the whole thing, they are really rust prone and hard to find without rust.

Got a set of Oliver flat tops here was going to put them on a ihc. But found a set of ih fenders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
