Randy, I think I gave you that formula when you bought the plow. Yes it will work with the wheels set narrower but you are more likely to have the front end want to pull to the right instead of staying in a straight line. I had a Massey-Ferguson 4-14" semi mount plow and a Ford 5000 with 15.5 X 38 rear tires. Normal tread was 60" on center, I kept the left wheel on that and had a dual on that side, the right wheel I put on a 72" tread setting, (36" center of tractor to center of right tire, never did measure to inside of tire), that is center of tire to center of tire. That brought me to the correct center line of draft so it didn't want to pull the front sideways like if I would have had the hitch set for the 60" tread setting like it was setup for when I got it. It was also easier on these old bones as with the tread set out the tractor rode more level than with the narrower tread setting. That problem is what you will come up with your M as you cannot safly set the wheels narrow enough to use that formula, just have to have the wheels set far enough apart to be safe with tilt of tractor, and hook up as best as you can to get plow to follow and the wider the wheels are apart and the harder the ground pulls the harder the front end of the M will want to swing to the right.
