Re:Hey DieselDude4x4.
I like to use em if I can. I have a 52 model B right now that is getting ready to come into the shop to be restored and then it will have a woods belly mower put on it and be used to cut a little grass. This model 60 that I am gonna get from DieselDude will be completely restored and then it will probably get used to pull a 7' or 8' pull type brush hog a little, and maybe a few other chores that I don't feel like doing with one of our newer tractors. The old ones are just more fun, they have personality, And I'm gonna love the sound of that 60 with a straight pipe on it barking through the field with a 8' cutter behind it. Theres nothing like the sound of a 2-cylinder JD with a stack barking with a load on it 8) 8) 8)

Re:Hey DieselDude4x4.
Looks like the sheet metal is pretty good. How are the king pins and the front suspension? How is the sheet metal on the floor boards?<br><br>I'm wondering if that is the/an original engine. I was thinking it should have been the old wide block 318. I can't remember when they started painting the engines blue or when they switched from the old wide block. Old age sitting in I guess.<br><br>Not much on that T-quad carb (we use to call them thermogulpers), they are a pita to get right with all those o-ring seals and all. I have a modern electronic ignition set up on another 318 here at the house I will probably put on it. The good Chrysler electronic, not that lean burn crap. I got two 85 Gran Fury's here, one a 318 two barrell, and the other a 318 four barrell police car.<br><br>Is that the vacuum operated two speed or cable operated?<br><br>Looks pretty good so far. I love it. Gotta call the insurance company and see what they will charge me for insurance on an antique truck.

Cool, I just remembered I got some stop/tail/turn lights here I bought off e-bay a while back. They came off an F-600 right from the dealer like brand new.
