Buying A New John Deere 60 (1955) 

Good quick little update. The best part about these vintage of JD's is just how simple they stayed for all that time.

Can't kill these old tractors. A little bit of TLC and she's good to go! Awesome 60!

Nice! It seems that... a little love is is all it needs!

It amazes me that some people can't figure out a carburetor, points and plugs on a 2 cylinder. Awesome looking 60

nice!

I had a 4 row cultivator on my 60. Had some trouble with the camshaft that bolted to the camshaft gear would break. Might have had some slop in the bolt hole. Easy to get to it, just unbolt the top cover of the crankcase and get yourself a mirror.

Looks pretty good for her age - a little younger than I am. We had a model 70 when I was a kid.

Solid lookin little 60.....

I have 1954 and a 1956 John Deere 60. Great tractors for our small farm.

Nice score. Love those 2 cylinder John Deeres. All I have though is an electric start L, but not id tag.

Grew up on a model 60 my Dad bought new in 1954. She was replaced by a 3020 in 1967.

Sounds like you will eventually have to replace the distributor. It looks like it has a couple minor leaks 😊

Don’t have any experience with those models but u can never have enough jd tractors

Quite a load for a 1/2 ton truck.
