The problems were the result of LONG TERM loading of the tractors in heavy pull situations. IHC rated the 560 as a 5-bottom tractor when they came out. It was a 2nd gear load which put a TON of stress on the gears, shafts, & especially bearings. Most 560's ended up pulling 4-bottom equip in 3rd gear. with decent durability records. Tractor pulling is a contest of ULTIMATE STRENGTH, and durability is secondary. They get worked on constantly anyhow looking for an Edge over the competition. The same bearings, shafts & gears get stressed to their ultimate strength and fail for other reasons.
