Nat: I have no idea what IH did to correct the problem with 560 rear ends. I do know my 560 was one of the last built, thus the problem had been corrected at the factory. Whatever they did must have been the right fix, as I probably abused my 560 more than any other tractor I owned. I don't like the word abuse, probabley excessively used would be a better term. I needed more HP, dollars dictated I couldn't trade for an 806. An IH technicion cranked it up to 90 HP and I ran it that way farming for 17 years and 11,000 hours. Over the years the IPTO was the weak point, I had to rebuild it every 2 to 3 years. Yes, I know at 11,000 hours it blew up and put a couple of pistons through the block, but it was still cheap horsepower. That is the only tractor I ever tampered with on HP, the other 15 Farmalls were operated as they came from the factory. Would I do it again, Questionable? The other item one must remember, from my perspective at least, the Farmall 504 gasser was the only one that ever disappointed me.
