Learning to upload a photo to the forum. Just a picture of my 60 from this late summer/early fall. Taken right after I got it running again and then drove it about 30 miles to my new house.

Nice, I have sat behind the soft glow of those head lights for hours back then working ground..those old lights are about like lightening bugs compared to todays "Stadium Lighting"on new tractors...
 
My uncle would be out at night and would never turn on the lights ? Even on tractors that they worked he still wouldn't use them. i always had to use lights and keep them working.
 
On those old gals you needed to check them with a flash light to see if they were on....
 
We have two of them that still gets used daily
on the farm. 1 has a 520 n/H spreader hooked
it 24/7 & hauls a heaping load of manure every
day & sometimes 2 loads, & have been unable to
spread only one load this winter. While the
other brings in hayledge bale everyday. Still
730 2cyl to grind feed, the 1941 B, the 530,620
& 630 are in Winter dry dock the Little M plows
the snow when needed.. 4WD Diesel gets used when
needed... I"m sure they will die some day, but
they are bought & paid for & would cost
thousands to replace them..
 
That is an interesting 60, nice tractor! The cement wheel weights and radio mount are distinctive. You don't see many with an oval muffler or a flapper cap either. A neighbor used to have 2 cyl tractors, from 1/4 to 1/2 mile away the oval mufflers were a lot quieter than the round mufflers.
 

Yep, those OLD JD tractors (6 Volt) used a bulb about the same as the Headlight bulbs my 1938 Chevy Coupe used...and they had around 38 Candle Power..
Remember, those were Lights for driving on the ROAD..!!
At night, it was real easy to get LOST at the end of a field..
12 V made it a lot better...

Those wheel weights were made by my grandpa by pouring cement in the ground in a mold WAY back. He was the original owner of this tractor and was his first NEW tractor in 1955 one year after he started farming. Its a 1954. I bought it in 2004 and am the second owner. That ol radio has been on there forever and still works!
