Made my day!

My 560 had been parked out in a rented hayfield since November. It's been outside, and I haven't laid eyes on it in two months. I needed to get going moving bales off again, so I drove the truck up there this morning. The old tractor had air in all the tires, and it fired right off. Maybe I'm easy to impress, but I almost always expect to have to work on something before I can work with it. Nice to have something ready to go. I've been trying to keep everything in better working order the last couple of years, instead of picking up new projects.

Function is way important. Caring for a tractor is routine if you make a routine out of it. Jim

That is really something to brag about. I hate leaving my tractors off the farm and out in the weather. Ellis

I like the truck, I had a 72 Chev with a flatbed and a 4 speed. Wasn?t the fastest truck on the road, and liked its gas , but sure would haul a load, and start in the coldest weather, while many newer trucks didn?t

I bought a 1972 Chevy yellow C30 new in 1972. Had a pickup box on it. When the box got real rusty, I built a wooden stake rack on it. The wood box was a dump that had two cylinders off a JD loader to dump it. I. My son had an auction at the farm where the truck was sitting in a field for a year. A lot of people were looking it over. When he was getting close, the auctioneer came over and asked me if it was for sale. I had not intended to sell it, but with a lot of interested buyers, I said sell it, Just tell them that anything in the cab doesn't go with it. I hadn't cleaned all the valuable stuff out of it. $4000 new, sold it for $400 at the auction. The frame was very rusty over the driver side rear wheel. He asked if it would run I said it would. Someone started it as soon as we found the key. I could say the same for mine as Bruce. Great Truck

Found an old faded picture of my 71 GMC. Rear wheels off the ground loading the JD 1010 on the trailer. Great truck!!! Wish I put it away.

I think it was nice that it was sitting there for you to use in an open field out in the middle of nowhere.....and being easy to start!!!!!
