Now, a little bit about the Armstrong Family 560 in the picture along with Max. Max tells us it's a '62 vintage. This tractor belonged to his dad and they farmed in Southern Indiana. The tractor was sold to a neighbor and was returned to Max a few years back. A lot of work went into restoring this old machine by the Prairie Central High School FFA Chapter in Fairbury, IL. It turned out really well and as you can tell, Max was very pleased. Considering the tractor had been turned over on it's top! You can learn more from the video.
