About how much total weight do you save on a Farmall M, going from the cast wheels, to a 9 bolt set-up on cast hubs, like the M+W's?
Thanks
 
Transmission cover to al.,front steering area is very heavy, brakes, hitch, brackets,rad. ect.my buddies weighs3900 with him on it.
 
There is alot of stuff on an M that can be, well ... just taken off. Not needed for just pulling. Hydraulic pump, belt pulley assembly, pto. Once these components are removed, just make cover plates out of sheet metal for the pto and belt pulley. Hydraulic pump hole can just be left open. Light bar can come off, and the fenders if it has them. Also radiator shutters. You can ditch the battery, starter, and generator. Although if you do that, you'll be putting on a mag and pull starting, which isn't that big of deal for the poundage you'll be losing.

I seen an M puller one time with aluminum frame rails. Not sure where he came up with those at.

I don't do all this to my tractor. Mine still goes to the field. But I do take notice to what I see at the pulls.
