I was just wanting to check to see if one of you experts out there know if the 60 is convertable to a wide front end and also if there is somekind of a 3 point hitch available. Please just email me off line if you want. Thanks--- Richard

Richard, the simple answer is yes to both questions. By swapping enough parts a wide front can be put on any 60. If it is after S/N 6024999 all that is required is a wide axle, pivot bracket, all the linkage & pivot pins etc...If before S/N 6024999 & if the tractor has the non-convertible ft bolster you will need the complete convertible ft bolster from a tractor with a convertible bolster. (the convertible has 4 bolts holding the lower spindle extension/knuckle on)....For a 3-point hitch there is the 801 Deere hitch that Deere offered as a retro-fit that is sort of a 3-point, it is expensive, has lots of arms & parts, is hard to use & doesn't work very good. There is also any number of aftermarket 3-point hitches that cost under $500.00 & work extremely well, install easily & fit good. One of my personal favorites is the "Saginaw County Tractor Parts" (810) 638-5787 as it is a heavy duty unit that works & adjusts well with good sway control. Depending on where you live there are probably other well built heavy duty units that don't have to be shipped far as they are quite heavy & shipping will be high.

Hi!

Thanks for all the info. We live in eastern Kansas and have a large salvage not to far away. We live in the eastern flinthills country with alot creeks, hills, all of which are great places to turn over a tractor. My father was in his late eighties a few years ago and he fliped the tricyle JD 60 ! It's mine now so I'm restoring it.
Thanks---- Richard

Yes and Yes, The first number series had split front ends that made them changable. I would look in salvage yards first. Might be a little hard to find an origonal as fewer wide fronts were made in those years. The 3- point, several after markets available. What was available for the 60 was a 800 hitch.
