Well after two days of debating,cussing my M,wishing I had never bought this one, I have decided to maybe sell my working M and get something in better shape.My delima is should I put another 600 or so in it,or just sell it and be done with it.Problems are as follows,GAS TANK is very dirty,but with a shut off and inline filter I have managed to get most of it out,however there is grass behind the baffle that after it sits for a while creeps out and I have to go through cleaning the junk out and I have ben doing that several times now.It will have to be boiled out but is in good solid condition.RADIATOR need replacing,just too old to fix right,Both frame rails and mounts need replacined since the radiator and thermostat housing dont line up,off by about 3/4 to 1 inch and the hosde is a paint in the butt to get on.The mounts are just too worn out OR the rails are bent,which is what Im suspecting since Irepalced the mounts with some better ones and it still doesnt line up right,not does the hole for the hand crank,OILPAN I got screwed over on,I had to repalce the one tha twas on it,and this on is bent just enough to not seal right,I have had a guy try to fix it but he couldnt get it much better than I had it.Now,it needs new tires but the ones that are on it hold air and will do for while,for me anyways,now on the plus side,fresh engine,maybe 20 hrs on it since rebuild and she runs great,when the it does run,good solid QUIET tranny,no major leaks but I think I may hve to redo the real seal,I found some oil drippings on the ground but that could have come from the shotty oil pan.So give me your HONEST opinions on what YOU would do.Shoot stright with me guys,I need it right now!

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
