IH 560 August 16, 2022 10:39PM
Approximately how much HP is needed to run road gear for a IH 560? Will be running 24.5 tires on clay tracks. Looking to start a build and was wondering what HP to shoot for to run the gear.

I would recommend over 1000 to 1100, North of 1200 to 1300 would be better especially if you are running on tight clay!! Best of luck with your build.

More details bud.
What weight class? What other restrictions do you have? Turbo, cubic inch limit, etc….?
What gear ratio is 5th on a 560? I know the small frame 656’s are around 19:1.
Definitely gonna need 1000+.

All of 1000 hp needed to turn road gear. And also a stock 560 rear end in 5 th gear will not last long in how it is designed. I would highly recommend figuring out ur ratio you want and having custom gears made in a different gear spot.

a 560 is 17 to one

If what Mr. Lewis is saying is true, I change my answer to 1300 plus hp. 17:1 is a tall gear!!! Especially if yall are on tight clay. What part of the country are you pulling?

Better just go ahead and contact atlas and get a gear set combination on the way or a atlas max because 5th gear won’t last long at all.
