Early Big Mo 500 and all Big Mo 600 had 445/4 Star hood and dashboard. The Big Mo 600 was only made one year, 1960 I believe. It had the hydraulic shuttle also used on the Two Star and Motrac crawlers. I've only seen one Big Mo 600, it was equipped with Henry industrial loader and backhoe of unknown manufacture. As mentioned previously, both BM 500 and BM 600 (and the crawlers) were built on 4 Star chassis, and both used 206 engine. I've heard some people say that the BM 600 must have been a real beast, (assuming by its larger number that it must be a larger tractor than the BM500) but it was larger in number only--basically same tractor. The Big Mo 500 was made for several years and underwent a styling change after the first? production year. The new style incorporated a heavy cast grill and flat top hood and round gauges and tach similar to M-series farm tractors of same era (early to mid 60s) I've seen several of these cast front Big Mo 500, both as loader tractors with 3 pt and as tractor loader backhoes. The HL500 forklift was built on a reversed Big Mo 500 tractor. The Two Star crawler and Big Mo 600 were made in very limited numbers (prototype style) for one year only. The Motract crawler and Big Mo 500 were made in "rather large numbers", and incorporated some design improvements over their predecessors.
