What do you guys think?
As you know, I am working on building an M of my own. It is going to be DECKED out! All kinds of coooooool stuff on it!
Anyways, I have been sick for over a week, so that has given me more time in my office.........
Talking to a buddy, he found an abandoned farm, has 3 Farmalls on it. He knows NOTHING about tractors, but has seen mine. He describes the first one as being nothing but the engine sheetmetal, engine, and rearend. Says that it is very wide in the rear, and it looks just like my C, so, I think it must be a B.
Next, his description matches that of an M. He said it is missing a LOT of parts, but the engine is all complete, and turns over still. It is a diesel.
The other one, I am not sure what it is, right now, my guess is a 300 or so, just because he says it isn't quite as big as "the diesel" and it is "cosmetically much different".
I think I can get ONE of them cheap, but it is my pick as to which one, and from what he had to say, they are all really trashed, and he is a pretty frugal guy to start with, so I trust him!!!
Would it be better for me at a working stand point to get that MD and drop that engine into my "dream M"? Some people have said that the D will use "MUCH" less fuel, I am not sold on that? More torque? Low end power? Maybe a little better on fuel?
I don't know. Were they good to work on? Expensive? Problems? WHAT?!
Just wanted to see what you guys new.....
Thanks! Bryce
