Jim - i'm sorry to here about your misfortune , but i think we all have to realize that we're dealing with 50 year old tractors that have been worked hard - and most of the "gravey" is already gone !.....Now if you gave Vern $5000 for a " original exc running 560 , then you have a right to complain ...... BUT if you gave him $1500 for a 560 that had'nt run in 5 years , and bt it "as-is" - then (my opinion) i think you "got what you paid for" - or most likely should'nt have bt it , but did anyway cause you really wanted a 560 and just maybe you "hoped" it would be better than you were told ??........i've bt about 65 tractors from Vern over the years -have i ever gotten a "bad" one , yes ,but always priced accordingly - have i ever felt Vern misrepresented them , only once & he "made it right" (honest mistake) ! - OK , did i ever get one that was BETTER than expected , yes there have been severall of those !! .......biggest problem as i see it is the tractors are getting pretty well "picked over" , there's only a fixed no. of them left and demand has driven prices way up - so anyone wanting one has to "pay up" - or settle for one that needs work ("you get what you pay for")!
