Join us for a conversation with Larry Spindler as he shares the story behind his family’s late-model Farmall 560 — a tractor with a rare, factory-offered IH turbo kit. Larry walks through the tractor’s history, how his family bought it in the early ’70s, and how they later tracked down the original turbo setup to restore it to its former glory. Along the way, he talks about life on a small Wisconsin dairy farm, the reputation of the 560, and what made this diesel model such a big step up in power for their operation. It’s a great look at farm history, horsepower, and the machines that shaped generations.
