Farmall 560

 

On Sunday I got a call from my dad to come and take a tractor picture.  From 1958 to 1963 International Harvester built 65,982 Farmall 560s.  The price for a 1963 model was $5,500. This was the model designed to get the edge on competitor John Deere.  Pop's friend Brooks purchased this Farmall 560 LP Gas new sometime in the 1950s.  After Brooks retired, the tractor made its way to a farm sale and was picked up by the auctioneer. Because of its age, it wasn't a hot item.  It sat awhile and when the auctioneer couldn't get it started, my nephew was called in. Seth got it running and ended up with the tractor, which he restored.  About the only modification-- made by Brooks-- was moving the headlights from the front to the middle.
