I have read every thing concerning the problems displayed by the 560 Farmalls, but I still love them, regadless. I have always liked the style of them. I have a 560 Farmall pedal tractor, and have always liked the style ever since I had a Tru-Scale replica of that style of IH tractor.
You are right about the world being a better place! I remember sitting on my dad’s lap as he taught me to drive our 560 Diesel – he has since passed away, but the memories of learning to drive our 560 will never fade. One of my favorite pictures is of me in my FFA jacket and black skirt standing next to our 560. My kids hate the picture, but it is why I became what I am today. Best of all, I have released the T/A lever and saw the black smoke pouring from the muffler. PTO 540@1800 RPM
Love the sound of the in-line six… it has the same rumble of the Allison V-1710 powerplant utilized in the North American P-51 Mustang. Of course, nothing quite beats the sight of the black smoke rolling from the exhaust of a 560 diesel as you release the T/A to drive while cruising down a gravel road in fifth gear… Farmall jockeys know what I am describing – if only our children could experience what we did as kids, the world would be a better place.

it is great except for that AC sign in the back ground— come on a true IF fan would never have an AC sign around except to keep out the mice… great sound nothing like it – we had a M that I cut teeth on – traded for a 560 then to 656- for that size tractor in our line up of equipment. I stil have the 656 and handed it to my son, Grand pa would be proud.

The paint and graphics on the ’60′s Farmall’s were particularily good and they sounded great. IH – Hands down the best tractors ever made.
