[AT] 560 steering ?

[Mike Sloane]

I don't think you will have much luck finding parts for a 560 without 
power steering - my impression (could be wrong) is that they were all 
built with power steering. As far as finding replacement used parts from 
salvage yards, I have to think that you haven't found the right yards - 
there were a LOT of 460s and 560s built. Have you tried Bates 
<www.batescorp.com> or Biewer's <http://www.salvagetractors.com/> or 
some of the several yards advertised in Red Power Magazine?
