    I'm just seeing this video for the first time. My Dad is the "Lloyd Idelman" Max spoke of in his interview. Thank you so much Max! I will never forget the day we spent as your guest at the Half Century of Progress show. You made Dad feel like a king!

    What a wonderful story. Max Armstrong really helped the community so it was so fitting to see everyone pull together and restore his family's tractor to perfection

    What a great story..I love the old red tractors as my Dad had an IH dealership in a small town in Northern Illinois. Seems like yesterday that I would sit on a shiny 560 on the showroom floor..I was in first grade

    Learned to drive on a 560. About ten years old, still haven’t told my mom over 40 years later!

    I have a 1963 560 that I drove home new from the dealer (at age 11) when my father bought it. There are 5802.3 hours on the hour meter ,which has been broken for at least 40 years. It runs but it could use a great deal of work by some of those FFA kids.

    We had a 560, what I basically learned on. Narrow front. Put a lot of hours sitting on it. Always wanted the bigger tractor with a cab, but now would love to have the 560 back. Good memories.

    My dad rolled a 360 utility when he was young. Something malfunctioned with the steering. He was trapped under it for several hours before they found him. They traded it for a 504. It didn’t have the best steering after it got broken in either. We later had a 460 Farmall tricycle. It would wobble back and forth going down the road, too.

      @henryofskalitz2228 Před 2 lety +1

      It's the u joints in the steering or needs a larger key in the steering column. That was the problem with my grandpa's super m and my 450 that I'm restoring

    We have a 560 , all its used for now is feeding hay. Its OK, but it sure isn't the reliable tractor like our super M or the 706.
