1956 John Deere 60 Tractor

This 1956 John Deere 60 tractor is a row-crop variant that is said to have been refurbished prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2023. It is finished in green with yellow wheels, and power is from a gasoline-fueled 321ci twin paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The tractor is equipped with a narrow-track front axle, power steering, rear half-fenders, work lights, a rear power take-off, a belt pulley, and a pin hitch. This John Deere 60 is offered at no reserve in Missouri with a bill of sale.

The 60 tractor was introduced in 1952 and was produced in several variants through 1956. The body and running gear of this row-crop model were reportedly repainted green under prior ownership. Details include a screen-style grille, front and rear work lights, a black exhaust stack, rear half fenders, and John Deere badging.

Yellow-finished steel wheels wear 6.00-16 front Super Hi-Rib and 13.6-38 rear Firestone agriculture tires. Stopping power is from independent rear drum brakes, and the tractor is equipped with power steering and a Roll-O-Matic narrow-track front axle.

The operator’s station houses a green steel seat with black vinyl cushions and the John Deere script across the back. Controls include a hand throttle, a clutch lever, and twin pedals for the individual rear brakes. The shift lever is centrally mounted on top of the transmission case.

The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a combination tachometer/speedometer and a body-color dash panel that houses gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, and oil pressure. The hour meter shows 842 hours of runtime, though total operating hours are unknown.

The gasoline-fueled 321ci twin sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.

The tractor is equipped with a pin hitch, a rear power take-off shaft, and a side-mounted belt pulley.
