Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

A 4-53 would be a good choice for your C-60. My '67 7500 had a 6V-53. I got bit by the Detroit bug when I was about 18. They are loud alright, and most poeple either love them or hate them. Once I sold my 7500, I was without one, till I realized that John Deere put one in one of their Farm Tractors. I was looking for another tractor anyway and was lucky enough to find one close to exactly what I was looking for. Back in '99 I bought a '59 John Deere 435 that has a 2-53 Detroit. Any time I need a Detroit kick, I just fire it up. I usually put it to work a couple of times a month anyway.

I like the Trolley Brake. Do you have your Trans out?
