I'm not trying to start problems here, but I'm having some trouble with your math. The formula for horsepower is as follows: HP = (Torque x RPM) / 5252. A couple different sources I referenced show rated speed for the Farmall M to be 1450 rpm. According to my calculations using the formula listed above, a Farmall M would have to produce 97 horsepower at 1450 rpm to have 350 lb. ft. of torque at that RPM. I calculated that as follows - 350 ft.lb. x 1450 RPM = 507,500. 507,500 / 5252 = 96.62 HP. Using a HP level of 45 at 1450 RPM (although the Nebraska test results I saw showed around 36 HP on gasoline) torque would be 163 lb.ft., or less than half of the claimed 350. I calculated this by the following formula: HP x 5252 / 1450. I have dynoed dozens of tractors, and I can tell you first hand that as you continue to pull a tractor down past rated speed, horsepower and therefore torque will continue to increase. But, according to my math, an M would have to produce 45 HP at a scant 675 RPM to be producing 350 lb.ft. of torque. A John Deere "G" with 412.5 cubic inches and a monster stroke of 7 inches only produces 204 lb.ft. of torque at 975 RPM (according to the Nebraska test HP rating), so if you have or know of a stock Farmall M that can produce 350 at 675, I am extremely interested in purchasing it. Even a die-hard Deere man such as myself can see that such a tractor would be a force to be reckoned with in stock pulls. Once again, none of this is intended to start some big color war, but I find engine-related math to be interesting, and something didn't look quite right in your post. Feel free to correct any errors that I may have made.

A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - 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
