Hey it's Bryce. I was just looking on my local CL and saw this add for a Farmall. I didn't think that they would have still made single wheel fronts this late in their production. What is it, 540? Is it worth $1000? Bryce

Ooops, I meant to say 560, I think that it must be one of these:

Most likely a Farmall 560D. Rear wheels look a bit large for a 460.

Back when my Dad used a 560 with a cotton stripper back in the early 60's, he would take off the wide front and use a single wheel set up like that. Less interference and didn't knock off as many bolls.
After cotton harvest, they would put the wide front back on.

Bryce,its just a regular 560 diesel('58-'63) with a single front.Nothing special or rare.It is nor will it ever be a $7000 tractor.Single fronts were popular in irrigated areas because the single would follow the water furrow.I,ve put a few hrs on a single,even did some disking/mulching.....Single is great on a cultivator,but a royal pain everywhere else...

DeltaRed is correct and here is an accident ready to happen. Single front, Loader, Mountains. It will only be used in flatland parades.
