Tractor data doesn't show any Ford garden tractors until 1966 and doesn't show your model number. I'd try posting a picture here and on the Lawn & garden forum on this site someone will be able to identify it and help you define exactly what you're looking for. I was always under the impression the the IH Cub Cadet was about the first Hydrostatic garden tractor in the late 60's IIRC the 123 was the first.

Be on the lookout for a '69 or '70 10 HP Jacobsen Chief, in addition to a Ford 120. The Fords were built by Jacobsen, and the trans was Sundstrand. Jacobsen is out of the garden tractor business, but there is a Jacobsen guy in Amherst, Ohio called Nieding. Sundstrand stuff can be rebuilt worldwide. I may be wrong, but if you have a 120 Hydro, I don't think it's 1960.
