LeRoy is nuts! I've got books here written by Engineers that say you should have 10% slippage on heavy draft loads. LeRoy must not read anything. I would not put calcium chloride fluid in your M unless you want it to eat your rear rims. The '51 M out in my shop has the factory installed rims on it with NO RUST, because it never had fluid. The '54 Super H has rusty rims because it had a couple patches that leaked on each inner tube. About 7-8 years ago I sand blasted and primed and painted the rims and had new US made Firestone Radial rated inner tubes put in the tires. We ran two sets of rear wheel weights on the M most of the time, and one set on the SH. Cast iron weight MUCH easier to put on/off than fluid, and to repair inner tubes too.
The transmission and final drives of tractors, trucks, cars, even motorcycles all react to the speed you try to run them pulling a load. The higher the gear, the faster you go, the less stress the transmission and rearend will have to withstand. The stress bears, gears, & shafts have to withstand is less, and they last longer. AGMA, American Gear Manufactures Association even has charts that show predicted life of the gears, bearings, and shafts in a gearbox. Roughly, reduce the load to 1/2, and the life increases TEN TIMES. So go ahead, weight that tractor WAY up, pull it's guts out! Glad your buying the parts.
Perfect example of this was the '63 4010-D Dad bought used in Dec.1968. We had a terrible time keeping it running, always something different than what we fixed before going wrong with it. According to the injection pump repairman the first guy who worked on it was a dumb jazz, the engine was pulling wide open on 3 cylinders and about half throttle on the other 3 because somebody ground up the ends of the leaf spring, so tractor made 65-70 hp. Never had a problem with the clutch, transmission or rearend. Dad used it to mow weeds one day and the PTO tried to shift from 540 to 1000 rpm on-the-go. Back to the repair shop that rebuilt the pump and majored the engine. Dad Sold the tractor to the son of a guy Dad went to HS with. He had an M&W turbo installed before he took it home. Rearend/transmission lasted less than a year. Kid actually expected Dad to pay for the rearend repair on a used tractor he abused almost a year.
