AG in IN said: (quoted from post at 17:37:17 05/08/14) Just did an M and a SM this winter. Both had the mid-mount shock, and both got the same shock new. The SM got an A&I spring that was painted black, the M got a Ste--iner spring that was painted red. The A&I one squashes down to nothing, and the Ste--iner one rides quite well.

I think you might have that backwards. The black spring from A&I is the heavy duty type. I weigh 250, and the black one is what works for me. The red painted spring is for folks who are light-weights.
I don't think so. Local dealer ordered me shocks and a spring from A&I. Spring was black. I thought I had at least one extra new spring, so I only ordered one. Couldn't find any new ones at home, so when I needed some goodies from STP, I had the dealer get me a spring from them. Spring was red. There's nothing heavy-duty about my black spring--it squashes down as bad or worse than the old one I took off. The red one doesn't.
I'm guessing I weigh 250-260. I'm happy with the STP spring. I'm also guessing that 175# would squash that black spring as much or more as 250# does the red one. I'm pretty sure the A&I book only showed one spring. Could it be another one of those parts where me, myself, and I get the lone dud when the masses are happy with their parts?
I haven't heard any of the weight-loss gurus say adding a Super to your M puts 50 lbs. on the driver, so I guess I'm ok there.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
