    M hand crank removal

    Another question: after I get the tractor supported at the clutch housing do I want any weight off the front axle for removing the bolster/axle. In other words should the front wheels be on the ground or off the ground when I hookup the engine hoist to the upper bolster. Probably a really...

    M hand crank removal

    Yea I was hoping to avoid that but I guess I can't. So here's another question (I've never pulled the front end off a tractor). Can I block the tractor with railroad ties under the clutch housing (in front of belly pump) and then unbolt the bolster and front axle/wheels and roll it off safely...

    M hand crank removal

    I want to get the hand crank apparatus off my M. Got the ratchet freed up so it turns freely. Looks like there is a pin that can be driven out to separate the ratchet from the hand crank rod. There is a collar around the ratchet that partially covers the pin. I can't get that collar to...

    M - removing starting hand crank

    Thanks for the info. I"ll get out the pb blaster and tools and see if I can move the ratchet. Good question about the pulley. The pulleys that are on there now are smaller than the char lynn pulley so the pump won"t produce as much pressure if I use them. That"s why I wanted to put on...

    M - removing starting hand crank

    Thanks for your comments. I don't have the equipment to support/remove the bolster (loader is on the M!)so I'll put off the PS install. But from what you guys are saying I can't even get the alternator belt off w/o moving the bolster forward to remove the hand crank/ratchet. Is that right?

    M - removing starting hand crank

    Can the hand crank assembly be removed from an M without removing the upper bolster? I want to remove two unused pulleys in front of the crank pulley and replace with a larger pulley for a char lynn PS unit. Also need to replace alternator belt and there doesn't seem to be any way to do that...

    antifreeze in oil question

    Changed the oil in the M last week and found antifreeze in the oil. read some previous posts re this problem and will do the radiator pressure test. A couple of posts mentioned a freeze plug at the front of the engine behind the timing chain cover as a possible source. Does anyone know if the...

    char lynn power steering install

    Thanks for the replies and pics. I'll send you an email glennster. After your reply rustyfarmall I took a closer look at the crank pulley setup on my M. Interestingly I have two unused pullies on the crank in front of the large crank pulley. I wonder if I can use one of these (assuming they...

    char lynn power steering install

    Bought a complete char lynn ps for my M (torque generator, pump, reservoir, etc). I know I will have questions about installing this since I'm not a tractor expert. Does anyone out there have an installation manual or instructions for this? Thanks

    M and IH 620 plow

    Talked to my neighbor (a real farmer) and understand what you guys mean about lack of draft control. I've seen many posts on this site that indicate guys are plowing with M's so how do they achieve draft control? Is there an after market solution?

    M and IH 620 plow

    There's an IH 620 2 bottom rollover plow for sale nearby. I don't know much about plows but have been thinking about one to rennovate a couple acres of marginal dry land pasture. Can my M handle this thing. I've got a three pt and extra remote.

    M wide front

    Okay, it looks like this is a front end from a 460. The left and right knuckle assemblies (spindle) have P/N 370367R1 which identifies them as from a 460 adjustable front axle. And you're right the steering arms are the same on both sides (also same steering arms as on 560). The tie rod...
