nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The first tractor I restored and the 3rd tractor I purchased. 1961 Farmall 460 gas, standard draw bar. Spent most of its life under a 4 row front mounted cultivator on the Van Sant farm near Grinnell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Here’s my favorite 460, runs like a scalded dog! Apparently it would be right at home South of the equator. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farming Enthusiast Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The first tractor my wife and I ever drove. Been on the farm since the early 70s. It was used to cut hay, rake hay, grind feed, haul hay and spread manure among other things through the years. Now it just does odd jobs. As far as we know it has the original clutch and t/a but overhauled in the 90s. My dad says the M wouldn't pull down as easily on the feed mill so they didn't use it for that much. It has been a very dependable tractor 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Thanks for the pics. I've seen a 460 in person. Lots of 560s though. A 560 was probably the first tractor I drove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny bill o Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 my 460 high utility. I drove this tractor about 1962 or 3, I was about 13 years old and it was first 6 cylinder AND power steering tractor that I ever drove. Dad had just 4 cylinder/Armstrong power steering tractors. I tried to buy it for years, finally original family owner sold it to me in 2020. Had to rebuild the engine, rewire it and change some wheels and fenders around. A little footnote: See the outside hydraulic lever by the steering wheel?? When the tractor was fairly new and hooked to the manure spreader one winter, my Uncle Harold (their employee) backed the rig into the barn and went to jump off, but his heavy coat caught on the lever and there he hung, yelling for help. Lever snapped when they tried to straighten it, so the pipe was added to the stub. I'll leave it that way. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzldenny Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 We had a 460 Hi-Utility as well. Grandpa got rear ended on the road Halloween night of 1980. The crash split the rear casting in half and when the tractor was thrown into the ditch, the Freeman 4000 loader kept it from rolling over on him. The insurance paid the implement to repair it. Handful of years ago I was at the local scrap yard. The implement was cleaning the warehouse and all the twisted sheet metal from our 460 was in the pile complete with the yellow paint scars from the loader . I filled the back of the pickup with parts and paid by the pound on my way out. $7 bought back our tins and a bunch more. It serves as garage art now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twostepn2001 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 A late friend of mine bought this 460U LP with plans to restore it but he passed away before that happened. lt came from a old cotton gin and was used to move cotton trailers around, the reason for the wood board push bar. He also got the small John Deere in the background as part of a package deal. His widow offered to sell it to me but l just didn't have the funds at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
