many of the 6060s/6080s have reached the 10000-11000 hour mark from what i have observed on the net, they are stingy on fuel.
i have a 82 model 6060 with 2900 hours, that is basically the same tractor with an 8 speed transmission and no intercoller rated at 63hp, and i love it!
the pto system is a fiat design that uses two seperate levers to power the pto, the pull up knob on the left of the seat engages the main pto drive, the long pto lever on the right is used for engaging and disengaging while working with a pto powered implement'
be sure to leave the long pto shifter by your right leg in the on posision when not in active pto use, and use the pto engagment lever on the left to disengage pto system when not using a pto powered implement.
leaving the knob engaged and the lever turned off puts a great deal of pressure on the clutch.
the 6080 had the same transmission as your 6070 and it used a larger clutch that created problems with the front thrust bearings on the 6080 series of tractors, resulting in some early enjine failures, the problem was not as evident in the 6060 tractors because of a smaller clutch, i do believe that Allis enjineers had these issues solved by the time they released the 6070 to replaced the 6060
the last tractor built by allis chalmers was a 1985 6070 sn 1972
