Hello all!
Well, I hope your new year is off to a great start... Since we finally got above zero here in MN yesterday and today, I figured it would be a prime time to work outside and get the '47 M back together. The new (refurbished) cylinder head has been sitting in the garage for a month or so, and I have been dying to get some seat time on one of my tractors (three of the four are down for service work). After getting everything together and adjusted, this M sure does run like a top! It's got real good power with the 4" bore and stepped head aluminum pistons. I managed to make a couple passes with the loader in about 8" of snow. I can't wait to really spend some seat time on it! Enclosed are a couple pictures, and there will be a video to follow (but due to a camera malfunction it was cut a little short).
I hope you enjoy, and I hope all are doing well!
