Mkirsch: I was only kidding about sliding the wheel by hand.
You must have had some vicious hills. Roughly 20% of my farm was hills, the other 80% flat land. None of my 560, 656 or 1066 had wheel weights or chloride. I operated on those hills with 560 or 656, either baler-thrower with 20' wagons or forage harvester and 18' self unloaders. Later after I got the 1066 with duals and NH 890, I pulled 22' aluminun highway dump trailers on those same hills, behind the harvester, and did it without weights or chloride. I never had even the slightest of anxious moments either pulling or holding back. We hauled those trailers to the barn with a highway tractor and could operate the brakes.
Back in the early 60s I pulled that same baler with thrower and same 20' wagons, behind Farmall 300 with chloride and one set of weights on those same hills. Piece of cake, I never saw the 300 struggle pulling or holding back.

The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
