Those tractors will take pretty much anything you can dish out at a tractor pull. My grandpa bought a 1963 560 diesel new and started farming with it and tractor pulling with it at that time and it still does both to this time. We haven't done anything to the rearend but replace a gear with a chipped tooth that was just a freak deal. He pulled 5/14" plow, a 14' Mounted vibrashank digger, an 8 row corn planter also pulled a 10' chisel plow with a 10' straight disk behind it. The only problem he had was pulling the drawbar in half, and the TA got a little weak.

I pull a 460 with a 301 diesel in it that runs real well with no trouble and also a 560 diesel turbo. I don't think you'll see any rearend failure especially if it's a black dash model, which all of ours are, The rearend deal just gave those super great old tractors a bad rep right off the bat. I think you'll also find the 60 series tractor make super tractor pullers by the way they balance out. They also can take high rpms and need some good rubber under neath of them to make them really work.
