I looked at a 560 I'm considering buying, wanted some input. The serial # indicate it's a 1962 model. A few things are a little unsettling about it and need to be checked out. It hasn't been started in a couple of years and I don't yet know if the engine is free, but the exhaust has been covered. The radiator seems dry, possibly leaked out. It has TA, fast hitch, Schwartz wide front, Koyker loader, good rear tires. I plan to try turning the engine over and draining the oil before making any decision. My obvious worry is that the coolant froze and cracked something. Any thoughts would be appreciated: other potential worries, what it might be worth as a worst case for salvage, replacement engine cost, etc. My last project was an M with a frozen engine (paid too much for that one unfortuantely). I've been using it for over 2 years, looking at the 560 to "modernize" a little.
