I bought a new 60 JD in 1955. It was a held over 54 model. I paid $2,260. for it with a wide front, the 801 three point hitch and remote cylinder. Years later, I took it apart to change rings on it. I don't call that an overhaul! It had cast pistons in it.

I think early models had cast iron and then later in life the came with alum ones.
I'm not near my parts book but I thought there were some serial number breaks in there for this ?
I remember something about narrower rings too ? But this may of been even on the cast iron ones in the 60 verses the ones for an A but the pistons all subbed over for replacements.
