Hello CNKS: With all due respect, I don't remember reading anything where IHC stated that the M engine was designed for full throttle. As a backup to this I'll point out that rated PTO RPM of 540 is obtained well below max engine RPM. Why did they not use full engine RPM power to the PTO? I can't recall all the books or manuals I've read years ago but I'll stay with my impression that the M and most other 4 cylinder Farmalls were designed with a fairly Flat torque curve from half to full RPM. Most non-turbo engines have a peak in torque about 70 percent max RPM. An earlier 425hp Corvette I had peaked torque at 5100 but Redline was 6400. I've read many of your posts and you have a very good knowledge of Farmall but I'll hold to staying with saying the M has a very usefull and relative flat output power from above half RPM to almost full RPM. Another place I can see flat output in most 4 cylinder classic Farmalls is in a tractor pull. They hang tuff untill engine RPM goes below about half. Then they fade faster.
Most aircraft piston engines have published torque curves and fuel used vs power output etc for all comercial pilots to use. Pilots have to know this to plan a safe flight. If only we had this type of info on Farmalls like I've seen for low RPM non-turbo piston aircraft engines... Hopeing your having a great weekend... agpilot

A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
