    M pto problem

    I did have the assembly out at one point to replace the rear seal. I don"t recollect if I used it after that until late this summer. Where is the thrust washer located?

    M pto problem

    I"ve got a problem with my M power take off. It seems to not fully engage with the input shaft in the rear end. When I engage it and it gets under load it grinds and slips unless I manually hold the lever up. It had been working, always slips now. Wondering if it"s wear or if I can add some...

    560 gas for possible purchase

    The other thing that I consider is that if the tractor isn't pulling at max load it won't use that much fuel. When I was farming I had a 4320 and baled quite a bit of hay with it. Fuel consumption was half on the rake or baler compared to the chisle plow or disk. And you are dead on starting...

    560 gas for possible purchase

    I take it the 560 gas was not the most fuel efficient tractor on the market.

    560 gas for possible purchase

    I was thinking in the $1500 range if the motor isn"t stuck and I don"t find water in the oil. Haven"t spoken to the owner yet so he may have drained the radiator. Sheet metal is ugly but straight, the loader is useable. I"m just looking for an inexpensive chore tractor that can bale 15 or 20 A...

    560 gas for possible purchase

    I looked at a 560 I'm considering buying, wanted some input. The serial # indicate it's a 1962 model. A few things are a little unsettling about it and need to be checked out. It hasn't been started in a couple of years and I don't yet know if the engine is free, but the exhaust has been...

    M clutch stuck update

    I can see the difference in the ends of the release levers. Mine are clearly missing the ends. I appreciate all the feedback. I"m looking at next week at best before I can tear into it. I"ll have some pics to post, and if I run into issues I"ll post it. Maxx, if you"d be so good as to post...

    M clutch stuck update

    I checked the pedal free play before I started taking things apart and it matched what the book called for, I don't recall for sure the exact number. I was moving the lever by hand when I took the pics. Just to be sure, I used a wrench to add some leverage and it felt like more pressure would...

    M clutch stuck update

    The pedal is actually bottoming when fully depressed against the tractor frame. In order to get more travel I would have to adjust the linkage, and it measured correctly when I initially checked it. I believe the spec was 1 1/8" of free travel.

    M clutch stuck update

    I'll try tapping on the bolts to see what happens and update tonight.

    M clutch stuck update

    The clutch pedal was within specs and the linkage is not bending. I suspect she"s just plain worn out.

    M clutch stuck update

    That was my concern, I don't see the fingers actually move. It's not the Super so I expect I can pull the clutch as it sits. More pics to come....

    M clutch stuck update

    I pulled the belly pump and had a chance to visually inspect the clutch. I'm not familiar enough to know how things should look but the release bearing assy moves easily and engages the 3 levers when the clutch is depressed (pics show clutch pedal released and depressed). I assume that means the...

    M clutch

    Updating, I pulled the belly pump this afternoon and had a chance to visually inspect the clutch. I'm not familiar enough to know how things should look but the release bearing assy moves easily and engages the 3 levers when the clutch is depressed (1st 2 pics, clutch depressed and clutch out)...
