We would love to see some pictures of your 600 when you get a chance!
Most parts from the 800 will not fit your 600, as the 600 has a shorter frame and hood compared to all the other Tubeframes.

My ID tag is not in contact that's what has made this a little more of challenge. So you think my only option for the hood and tower is to find a 600 parts to replace. You dont think the 800 would work? How could I tell if I have short or medium frame?
You will need to find a 600 Hood, and it also has to be a hood from a 62' or a 63' because there are some minor changes that were made with the 64-65 hoods. ( If you dont care if your hood matches all original speifications , then you could use a 600 hood from 64-65.)
The 800 Hoods are around 25'' from front to back and the 600 Hoods are around 21'' front to back
Length's of the chassis
600- 60'' from front to back
800-63''

Hey guys im back! The tractor is going great. Just wondering if anyone can tell meif a 800 dash tower will work on 600. And also were the choke and throttle cables on the gold series red or black? Thanks so much for the help promise I will post pictures soon i've just been so focused on the restore. Lol thanks for the help.
A dash assembly from an 800 will not work with the 600.
The throttle and choke knobs were black

Even if the tractor is all apart I can still tell you whether you got a 600 or 800 on your hands. Both the 600 and the 800 used black knobs on the throttle and choke cables so thats really not a good way of determining what you have.
