Grew up with H, M, 400, W9, and a 660 gas. When I started buying and collecting tractor it was mostly Case. Have had some nice IH and Moccormick tractors over the past years like WD-9, W-400 diesel, 660 diesel, IH 600 diesel and some farmall M's that I have sold.
Couple of years ago I acquired several stuck WD9's, one with a motor torn apart with hand clutch. I was lucky to find a complete motor. Which led to a nice find of a SWD-6 that was also for sale. This was in July that I got the motor. In Oct I made the journey back to Billings MT. (I live in Sturgis SD) I bought the SWD-6 to go with the W-4, W-6, W-9 that I already had. Pictures to follow.
Then in Nov. I found a IH 650 for sale in Great Falls MT. Another road trip which turned out to be in a snow storm. Tractor did not run at the time and we had to winch it on with come-a-longs as there was to much snow for pick ups to pull it on. Trip home was much nice weather. Pictures to follow.
Next there was a sale just down the road from me in Dec. I really didn't have any intentions of buying anything. Well there was a 560 Farmall gas that was selling to cheap so anyways I ended up buying it. Wow no road trip, just 3 miles away. Now another IH/Farmall to my collection.
Been a long winter, no new tractors of any kind. Almost 6 month with out a new addition. Started putting my Farmall 400 together (engine job) that I tore apart about 5 yr's ago. Must of gave me the fever as there was a sale coming up with a 560 diesel standard. I ended up buying it over the phone during the auction (25th of May). I went and got it yesterday and got it home last night. Was about 40 miles away. It is a bit rougher than what the picture showed. Does have great sheet metal and tires. Pictures to follow story. Hope you will enjoy the story and photo's.
