[AT] Good Karma? JD 60 Orchard

[jahaze at aol.com]

The exhaust is not correct it should be turned down.  The orchard model 
has no air cleaner above the hood has a lower seat, and a few other 
minor changes.  The serial number confirms its an orchard, not a 
modified 60 standard. As rare as they are, there seems to be quite a 
few in Michigan.  I wonder if they were all shipped here.  They also 
seemed to have avoided the abuse that the row crop tractors got.



Enjoy, Joe

The 60 looks pretty good Joe. But what makes it an orchard model? To me 
it
looks almost identical to my AR "wheatland" tractor.
Thats not the stock exhaust , is it? Mine on the AR comes up through 
the
centre of the hood near the front.
