Re: Bought another classic- 1960 Farmall

I have no idea what year/model my dad restored when I was around 7 years old, but it was an old tractor that had seen hard life in a gravel pit up in Maine. It was complete with a bucket and had sat outside most of its life.
He took that thing apart, piece by piece and gently restored it over a period of a couple of years to use on our farm. I used to drive that tractor daily once I turned 9 and it never let us down. The only failure he experienced was the rear end let go after it was restored, I think the rear differential gears finally gave out due to the abuse it saw in the gravel pits.
Great tractor.
