Just looked at a 1963 560 diesel with a turbo. Former South Dakota tractor with a farmhand loader with grapple. No 2 point and it didn't have the hyd couplers in front of the operator like I am familiar with being on a 560.The hitch was similar to an H or M would have. I can get it for 2500.I am waiting for a pretty day so I can drive it and check it out. My biggest question is how well would the 282 diesel hold up with a turbo on it. It has 2200 hours on it and I didn't see any burned or scorched paint like an over heated turbo will produce. I wouldn't be concerned if it didn't have the turbo. It would be nice to have more power just don't know how a 282 handles boosted pressure. I appreciate any advice or comments that you guys might have.
 
We had one of those back in the "60"s, and ours
would break a head bolt and blow the head gasket
once in a while if you worked it hard. We were set
at about 75 hp with ours and it made a nice package,
would pull a 4-14" trailer plow anywhere. Later we
pulled a 4-16" semi-mount plow without any issues.
It was our "big horse" until the 806D came along.
 
I have two turbo 560 been on them for years.Keep the HP down to 75 80 and watch the temp so you don't crack the head.
 
Thanks for the replys.I am going to try to drive it this week and if everything checks I guess I will try to buy it.I will probably use it mostly for loader work but may use it in hay and pull a 10 foot disc a little just to get to listen to her.When you say temp do you mean water or pyro.I want to take care of it and make it last.
