[AT] 560 D

[Darrell Ratliff]

Tyler – we had a 560D on the farm when I was a kid.  You will start just about the same as any other tractor – check and change fluids – I ‘d not worry about the drive train fluids until you get it running.  Change the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filters etc.  If  it has been idle a long time you may need to clean the injector pump and clean or rebuild the injectors.  Of course, fresh fuel is a must.
    The 560D used a glow plug starting system so you will need to assure that it is functioning.  Good luck with your project if you take this on!

Subject: [AT] 560 D

Hi all,
My great grandfather, (The same one that had the model A jd), had a
farmal 560 D.
I am not sure if it is still around at my great uncles place, and if
it is, I don't know if it is even in running condition.
I halve hopes of acquiring it someday.
However, if it isn't in running condition, where would I start?
I know that beings it's a desel, I know I wouldn't have to clean any
carbs or anything, as it has a injector pump.
But what about fluids, tanks, etc?
I know for sure it'll need a new battery. I looked up on the internet
and found that a 560 D uses two 6 volt batteries.
Is this correct?
I am not a farmal person, so just wanted to see what others on the
list had to say about this.
Thanks!
Take care,
Tyler J
