* Engine Variations: The Ford 600 series was produced for a number of years, and there were different engine options available. The horsepower output varied depending on the specific engine model.
* Horsepower Rating Methods: Early tractor horsepower ratings were not always standardized. The "brake horsepower" (bhp) was the most common, but there were also "drawbar horsepower" ratings that measured power at the hitch.
To find the horsepower of your specific tractor:
1. Identify the Engine: Look for an engine identification number or tag on the tractor. This can help you determine the exact engine model.
2. Consult a Manual: Find a service or owner's manual for your specific year and model of Ford 600. These manuals often list the horsepower rating.
3. Look for Data Online: Search online for resources like vintage tractor forums, or websites like TractorData.com. They may have information on Ford 600 series models and their horsepower.
