Nice old barn, Larry.

I can make out the rear wheel and tire of the 60.

My uncle farmed 180 acres in central Iowa with a JD 60 as his "big" tractor up into the mid-late 1970s. He pulled a 3x14 (16?) trailer plow, a 10' wheel disc, four row planter and a mounted 4 row cultivator with the 60. It was a good machine.

Today, it sits rusting away behind the barn in my Mother's family's post Civil War homestead Century Farm outside of Toledo, Iowa.

My family would drive 550+ miles to visit his place each summer in the 50s and 60s, and, when small, I spent many hours on his 8N and brand new Ford 981 S-O-S but he would not allow me to drive the 60 unless he was with me.
