Help With Identifying a 560D Serial Number

[CrazyLlamaLady]

Hello everyone, I found this wonderful forum on my quest to learn what the heck type of tractor came with our farm.

We have found the serial number on the engine to be 4201 S-Y-C-C

But when we put that code in we are getting stumped and no answers to tell us what year our tractor is. We are wanting to give the old girl a good tune up and replace the parts that need it, but we are stumped as to what the serial number means. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

international or farmall model?

It is an international

pretty sure your not talking engine #'s as its under the oil filter. this is the tractor # on the clutch housing on the left side. international is 1961, farmall is 1958 and the cc is heavy duty 3rd gear.

what is your plans for a tune up?clean sediment bowl, change fuel filters, set valves, clean oil bath air cleaner, check battery cables and clean, . i am sure you dont plan on digging deeper. those diesels run a long time if looked after.

We need to replace a few of the soft hydraulic lines in the back. It has a bad leak, and the old owners solution was to dump in more fluids instead of foxing the leaks. All filters will be getting changed and replacing any parts that need it as we go. When we can get the tractor running consistently we will see if any adjustments are needed in the engine, and make sure it is all in good shape

I have a Farmall 560 , I suggest changing the Differential Oil ,that means draining the 16 gallons of hytran fluid out the differential,and change it to hytran or Quality compatible. I dought it has been change other than loss .
Also change the pto gear box ,doesnt take much ,flush it out would help ,I never checked mine ,never used it , when I did want to use it surprised not much in it , Ended up rebuilding the pto gear box .
Tip , oil I used was a Chevron 1000 tractor fluid , Cause I could not get hytran, really shifts nice now ,I tried auto parts oil compatible ,I did not like it.
Good luck with your project

The hydraulic lines can be easily made up at a hydraulic shop. Much less money than the dealership. Just take them in. Make sure the fittings you
remove do not include check valves, just hose. One end needs to be rigid, the other needs to rotate to be tightened. Jim
