tj_farms - What is so dangerous that they will get hurt ?
3 things.
1. The free wheeling, although that is manageable with a very small amount  of common sense.
2. Climbing over the hitch.  Yes, I've done it for over 50 years.  Got a few scars on the shins to prove it.
3. Being around the PTO.  This is one of the main reasons we don't use Old Molly (Gramp's 560) around augers very much.  It's just too easy to make a mistake and end up in the PTO shaft.
I'd add a #4, the brakes.  I've been around 460 and 560's since they were new.  It often takes a special touch to brake both wheels evenly and smoothly.  Most of the time one will lock up before the other does much.  Yes, adjustment and repair can fix that ... for a while. 



WOW, you got me scared to death to drive it now!!!! LOL

Mine has all those 4 items, never thought much about being dangerous. I grew up on this 560 and I guess I'm just use to it by now. I am the only operator of this dangerous 560. Very handy tractor, it's the only one I have that will start everytime below 0 degrees.
