- I've had my Farmall 460 for a few years now and put some clips together talking about the mostly pros I've found in using it. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
OPPS!!!
I said it was a live PTO... it's an Independent PTO.
I forgot to mention the LP fuel option.
Dan Gingell of J&D Productions in Michigan. Told us about one, a number of years ago, I think it was an International utility version where a customer of his bought one off of somebody who had disguised a bad motor by deadening a spark plug on a ‘58 460! You know, when the spark plug wire was on on that cylinder, it was popping and banging something wicked! But when he pulled the wire off that cylinder, the pops and bangs went away. I can’t believe somebody would do that, especially on such a nice tractor as this.

We have a 1959 Farmall 460G with a wide front and fast hitch. We got it in 1970, and it was the big tractor on the farm until a 706G came along in 1982. The 460 is still used a ton. It is awesome for the old crank rakes, as you can leave the setting where you want it and use the fast hitch for travel or going over rows.
I bought a 560 (non-running) pretty cheap. Still fixing it up. Explained my intentions of making it a raking tractor to my neighbor. His reply “fix it up, add upgrades. Still at the end of the day, you’ll have a sh*tty 560 with a problematic final drive!”. After seeing photos of the 560 in the field back in the day, no wonder why the final drive failed!!!
The M, Super M, 400,450, 460 and 560 are great small hay farming tractors! They’re also cheap and easy to work on!
The Farmall 460 is my favourite of all the Farmall tractors. I'm a standard tread guy... But if we sell most of our collection, and I only keep one Farmall, it would be the 460.
I enjoyed the video. That’s a nice old tractor you got there.
Good tractors, i spent a lot of time on 560 diesle. Still have it. Used to take it tractor pulling. I brought home many trophies 3020, 4010, 4020 owners would of liked to have had. It was hard to beat in 8500-9500lb classes
Answer: Hell Yes AND a 560 too! Gas,LPG,Diesel, wide front end ,power steering. Get all of em.
Yep I forgot to mention the LP!
In one wow. Lol
I grew up on a 460. It struggled with 3-14s in the clay on my parents farm, some places plowing in 1st with ta back while 1 mile away on neighbors it would pull it in 3rd! Fond memories.
Remember those tractors as well. Good machine.
I like farm all tractors I wish they were still made
I have the triangle mark on my 460 Farmall. I kinda wished I had the narrow front end. My 460 leaks hydraulic fluid out the steering bolster. I think there are a couple of o-rings that need replacing. It had a loader on it that I hope to sell. I have a skidsteer so I don't need that. Loaders are a slow death for farm tractors. I hope to find a three bottom plow for it. Thanks for sharing!
We have both a 460 gas and a 560 diesel , both have narrow front ends . They are great for putting the bigger disc (28ft. ), field cult (30 ft.) , and even our 900 bu. auger cart away . Will never ever sell them that is for sure , just too handy .
Awesome video! Keep them coming!
I had a weatland 660 d. I loved it.
The 460 was a good all around tractor but one thing for sure theres no excuse for poor maintainance,nearly lost my life on one when the steering shaft separated and the steering was without control the steering wheel disconnected itself from the front gearing where the steer shaft came along side the engine and went back into the bolster.the fellas who owned the farm had been putting it off for years because they didn't think it was bad enough to repair it.
My Dad's 'ol 400D was rebuilt in Island Pond VT.. & I swear the power plant is from a donar 560 Diesel..
Grand dad had a 450 wide front utility awesome tractor steering got wonky had to take and tare down the front end and weld up the steer shaft and the bronze gears and remill them for new tighter keys and key ways
I had one years ago and was always told they had weak rear-ends. I didn't have rear end trouble, but can't say the same for the TA. It was a good riding and handling tractor though.
IH went a bit overboard on their rear end recall campaign. They fixed the problem early on, but the fix had such huge publicity that it's memory probably became a bigger "problem" then the issue itself had. My Farmall lived 20 years of it's life under a corn picker and the axle are just fine.
We had a 760 and the biggest drawback was the extremely low ground clearance do to the drawbar design. Might not matter on hay but in field tillage it was always getting stuck where any other tractor would not.
There is no such machine as an IH 760.
My father had a 460. I was told that it had a 'power pack' which gave it a few more horsepower. Before my father bought it, the 460 was fitted with a corn picker. The tinwork was all beat up by the time we got it. We used it to bale hay on our small farm.
It had a very smooth running 6 cylinder with a very unique, unforgettable sound to it. The T/A was great for climbing hills with two loaded hay racks behind you, but don't forget to disengage before going down the other side of the hill! I'd rather have a 460 over an M Farmall any day.
I have a JD 520 tricycle with loader. I dont do farm work but i do use her around moms house. The only time i had a light rear wheel was doing what i shouldnt have done but i was fine because i dumped my hydraulics. I want more wheel wieghts but a wide front wouldnt help. I have buried my tractor about as bad as the pic but i was in the woods so 2.5 hrs with a 4 ton come along and i was free
She has new rubber now. I will admit I'm a wimp about slopes in general so I don't push tractors too far, but it's good to be a little concerned at least.
I have a 460 factory no T/A. It's putting out about 65 HP out of a gas engine. I have an f-11 loader on it and use it to load hay. Works like a champ.

nice 460 tractor
I have seen 460 but I have never drove one or rid on one but my great grandfather is being restored right now
i had a 460 it had the large rear axle and i changed mtr to 560 added turbo what a little workhorse had a lot of fun with it still have my 450 /h /f20 s ih was great at one time but they made a mistake on 560 rearend and didnt treat farmers wright and the rest is hiistory now we have green weanie everywhere but not on my farm only red
460 diesel w/D236 was the hardest starting engine. 560 w/D282 was better. 35 year red wrench puller.gotta love 'em
We have a D282 in our 656 and it's not too cranky. I really don't see many of the D236 motors in my area so I haven't had the pleasure.
Have a 460 diesel,, worst tractor to start ,, was easier to hook up and pull start it .. finally put an engine in it from a 560 ,, starts and works great :)
@@medowbrookfarm9731 es d282 lo puedo trabajar en 3 colarastra de26discos
We never had one, my uncle still has his hi crop 460 he bought new. I always liked the look of them
Nice video
Hey would it be possible to give you a call sometime? I have a 460 myself that we are using on our operation. We should get our ground certified organic this year Lord willing 😃 I’m planing to get more ground and really don’t know what the limitations are for a 460. I really like it but wonder if I should get a bigger tractor. Only problem with that is it cost money 💰 and we are just getting started and I don’t have allot of extra dooooow laying around lol. Anyway thanks for the great video and if you would be ok with a phone call please let me know. Thank you and God bless 😁
👍
We use a 460 utility on the farm from time to time.
I love my 460, run a bush hog and wood chipper. no issues at all.
@@philiprandall9868 yeah the 460s are great
What about a 660 farmall tractor?
Tricycle means "One" tire..
Narrow is TWO
The only thing I find wrong with this tractor it sounds like a banjo and a fiddle when it's running.
Always shift a mech or hydrauliac t/a under load never as a brake.
I hated our 560 the operators deck could have produced enough steam to propel a
Naval destroyer....boy it got hot!!!!
If the price is right
I paid $300 for the Farmall and $1500 for the IH
I would prefer rear fenders.
It's on the list!
The 460 Wheatland had full coverage fenders. They are a 460 Utility tractor with wide fenders and full platform. They were built mainly for Western Canada.
@@tyfrank3427 I have one , still trying to bring it to life
I would buy one, but not with that silly two wheel steering set up.
I like the 460 but, a good M will easily out plow the 460.
@Mr. Sunshine sorry to disappoint YOU, I've plowed circles around 460s with my M. A 460 that has been overhauled and turned into a 560 ,is a different animal though.
@Mr. Sunshine I think you're confusing the M with the H. The M is a three bottom tractor like the 460 .they both came out of the factory with about the same horsepower. The 460s horsepower is being robbed by the live power, the live hydraulics, the power steering, and the PTO break. I know you must have a hard on for the 460 ,but come on now. I happen to know some old retired farmers that traded M 's in back in the 60's, and were very disappointed when they were plowing. Your 460 must have been overhauled and turned into a 560. Not hard to do!
@Mr. Sunshine oh and by the way, I have a video of my M plowing with a three bottom plow, look it up and watch it if you have the balls.
@Mr. Sunshine you are the clueless idiot. I don't think a 460 with a 236 short stroke engine can generate double the horsepower that the Ms 248 long stroke can. Look it up at Tractordata.com. Oh and by the way live PTO is another name for independent PTO. It just depends on what part of the country you're standing in..
@Mr. Sunshine I tell you what, tomorrow there is a tractor pull at the United Methodist church in Dubuque Iowa. Bring your 460 and prove your point. I'll be waiting for you..nobody and I mean nobody in there right mind pulls a peace of Shit 460 at a tractor pull.....they either have an M or a 560 .the only 460 I've ever pulled against was one with a 806 engine in it.....bring it on ass hole ....if you don't show up....I win .
Seen this all video. Not the point. TH-cam is the point. I will never buy anything from you TH-cam as long as you keep cramming these old videos down my throat. You've made up my decision.
Background music junked another video👎🏻💩
Had one worse tractor ever made
