 I finally got the gas and air business on my M5 working right and it runs great. What type/size of plow and mower would be appropriate to use with it?

| We pulled a 4-16 M5000 mounted plow with ours. It was a diesel with 15.5-38 full of fluid and about 3 weights on each wheel and 5 banana weights on the front. It helps if the tel-o-flo is working properly. I never run it myself, by the time I was old enough to plow dad had a M670 Super with the same plow.

| Nice looking tractor. Where did you get your muffler and seat cushions? Did the muffler quiet it down much. I have a M602 that I want to have nice looking like that. What size tires are you running? Both front and back seem a little big which on a tractor that size it sure would not hurt anything.I put 6.5-16 on mine which with a wide front anything fits fine but I have a narrow front that fits the 602 and anything bigger than 6.00-16 rubs.I thought these tractors were a beast to drive but after rebuilding the wide front and good tune up they are as good as it gets.

| | The tires were on it when I bought the tractor (I paid about what the tires are worth). I'll check the size next time I go to the farm and I'll take a few more pictures. The seat cushions were custom done at a local upholstery shop. I think the muffler came from the local farm & home store (Orscheln's in this neck of the woods)
and it is still pretty loud. I like the idea one fellow hadd in adapting a JD 4020 muffler to fit, but I just don't know if I could get used to looking at that big black thing....

| Mercer Tractor Restoration in Excelsior Springs, MO. Nice job throughout at a fair price. Said he wasn't too fond of doing another tractor this big (he does lots of Fords, Allis, MF, and other smaller tractors.
