    M and MT AirCleaner

    Was wondering if the air cleaner for a M and a MT were the same? I was thinking they were. I got a air cleaner off of eBay that was supposed to fit a M but it doesn't.

    Took the share off the M1 plow and cleaned it up so I could see the numbers. It says Deere 218. Then a little farther down it has a U. This doesn"t match up to anything in the manual to the plow. What do I have? Thanks.

    John deere M tail light

    Did most M's have a back tail light? I bought a good original seat bottom for my M and it doesn't have holes drilled for the bracket the light goes on. Anybody have a pic to show exactly where it was mounted? In the manual looks like it mounts to left side of seat bottom.
