Can you replace your old 60 amp service panel box with a new 60 amp panel box?

Most jurisdictions will no longer allow the installation of 60 amp main service panels. If you are doing a repair, and a simple replacement MIGHT be considered a repair, you might get away with replacing one with the other.
But if you have the time, money, and/or you KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, I suggest you upgrade the service to at least 100 amps. Even in small homes the typical installation is now 125 amps. And if the home is all electric, typical installation is 200amps.
Replacing a service panel can be very dangerous. Do this ONLY if you know what you are doing and how to protect yourself from injury. If you are guessing, DO NOT DO THIS TASK.

Can the ground wire from two separate circuits (one 20-amp one 15 amp) be shared?
There wasn't room for more details: I know they're shared on the bus bar. I meant to ask if they can be connected in the junction box? I found a jct box with the two circuits. They are completely separate except for the grounding conductor/ground wire, which are connected. This is because the 15-amp has armored BX and junctions with 14-2 romex, so the ground for the romex connects with the ground for the 12-2/20-amp. Thanks.

How do you hook up a 15 amp breaker to a 60 amp box?
If by "60 amp box" you mean a 60-amp service panel (circuit breakers or fuses), you would generally get a 60-A panel that has several slots designed to accept a variety of compatible breakers, from 15A to 60A. If you have a "box" with no breakers, you would need another "subpanel", with wires from the 60A box to the new subpanel, and install one or more 15A breakers in the subpanel. If you don't need more than one breaker, you might also simply use a 15A disconnect panel with a single breaker in it.

How do you find out how big your main breaker box is?
Simple. Your main electrical panel will have a "main breaker". This will be a two pole breaker, usually at the top of the panel. It will have a number on the breaker "handle" such as 150 or 200. This is the maximum number of amps your panel can supply. Most newer homes, 1975 and newer have a 200 amp service.
