[Anonymous-0]

Hi folks, next weekend i have to do a rally commentry and thereis a MM M670 Super Diesel tractor enterd and i am looking to you experts to help me with some details. We have 280 tractors enterd for the show so i will be kept on my toes if the all parade rounr the ring. During the war we had a lot of MM tractors sent here on the Lease Lend scheme the in the late 40s MM built UDS tractors here in the UK using tractors sent from the USA minus engines. The engines we fitted were Dorman 40hp diesels or Meadows 55 hp diesels. A lot of these tractors were saved from the scrap man and are now in collectors hands. MJ

MJ,
What would you like to know? What type of commentary do you typically do for other tractors? This will help us get you started.

Hi Brian, many thanks for replying. The horsepower, size of enging, number of gears and any more intrestig comment about the tractor would be ideal. With over 200 tractors to talk about i only get on average one minute per tractor. Many thanks, MJ

[MM diesel]

The M670 super diesel was built from 1966-1970. It was rated around 75 pto horsepower at about 1800 rpms. The engine is 336 cubic inches with a 5" stroke and 4.625" bore. The tractor would weigh about 7500-8000 pounds. The tractor had a 5 speed basic transmission. Most of these tractors had a hi-lo shifter called an amplitoc. In 1969 the 3 speed amplitorc became an option. So these tractors had either 10 or 15 speeds, and a choice of 2 or 3 reverse speeds. My father and I each have an M670 super diesel, and many of these tractors stiil earn their keep on many local farms.

MJ,
Take a look at the tractor data site and let us know if you have any other questions.
Moline used their own engines in the M670. They were all 336 cubic inch wether they were gas, LP or diesel. Also Moline offered 4 different front axles on the M670. The "E" or extendable wide front for row crop farming was the most popular. Also offered was a "U" or Universal front end with two wheels closely spaced or more commonly referred to as a tricycle front end. Less popular front end options were the "S" standard fixed width wide front axle and the "N" single front wheel front end. All these front ends are interchangeable which means the farmer could buy the tractor one way and could order a different front end from his dealer and have it swapped out or do it himself without much difficulty.
