Running when parked.

Ah Mr Scott, How much time to refit?
8 weeks sir! but I know you don't have 8 weeks so i'll do it in two!
Mr Scott have you allways multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of 4?
Aye Captian, how else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker.

seriously i hope no one was hurt. Can she be saved??

 

[Machinery-Man]

Unusual the front wheels survived and not the rear. I would say there is several hundreds of salvage there.

 

[RLA]

WOW that make"s me sick.. I have it"s twin
brother at home I waxed last night. it"s
6221964, That tractor befor the tornado looks
as good or better than mine..

Looks like it most have been bounced and rolled along the ground to snap off the rear rims. It's had a loader mounted on it at one time. It even had fenders which are uncommon to find.

 

[Carlyle hoffman]

It shows no signs of ever having a LOADER, CULTIVATOR yes, brackets shown. Bet the cultivator is in IOWA some wear. Very sorry to see this.

I"m not a Deere fan but this is sad to see like this, as it means some poor guys have lost everything, and hopefully not their lives.
Looking at the picture and what i see in it i wonder if it was in a guys shed,as I see electrical wires and machined timber laying there too. Hope it wasn"t a whole tractor collection involved also.
I would guess as long as axles and castings are not bent/ damaged, it could be repaired, if somebody knows where to take it home to, and a guy is in the mind to do it after this disaster.
Regards Robert

 

[buickanddeere]

Yeah on 2nd examination there are no brackets for the rear of the loader frame. I was looking at the nose piece and the cone on the side rail.

 

[D-]

Looks like tricycle is almost backwards or spindle/spindles bent.

 

[Frank 41]

I think it will take a new hood for sure!

Hope no one was on it when this happened. Just wrong place at the wrong time to be around these twisters.

 

[Dave Gunem]

I agree with the shed bit as the evidence is pretty strong . Agreed on the hoping nobody got hurt or killed also. Looks like it may have been going faster than advertised max speed . That said it looks like a real easy fix to me. I would change the rear axles and then put good castings-tires on it . Probably wouldn't need to on the axles but I have extras . Tranny lid is probably junk along with the radiator but the pulley looks fine and the flywheel side is easy to check but it is probably OK . Tin , steering shaft-wheel , seat and gas tank and you are close . Probably not practical but if it is near and dear to the owner it certainly can live again . Parts tractor wise it is a solid "10" .

I'll take the starter cover plate...

Old friend of mine in Oklahoma said a Farmall 560? was missing after a tornado years ago. They decided it must have been stolen. A few years later during a drought, they found it in a nearby pond.
