Hi all , I got the M home ok . It only took 14-1/2 hrs . We just squeezed the tires in between the fenders of the trailer with some flat sheet's of metal as guides . I thought that we might pop a bead but we didn't . Trailer trailed great at 70 mph . I didn't check it out with a fine toothed comb yet but the initial inspection proved that it did indeed run very good with a very little misfire occasionally . The carb doesn't leak gas , and it has good oil pressure at least for the 20 minutes or so I had it running while I test drove it and loaded it . It steers very hard , and it makes noise in all the gears but not while coasting with the clutch in . A growling , rattling bearing type noise that we think is from the input shaft bearing . The M&W 9 speed works ok but is hard to get back into the lower side . It has mismatched tires on the rear with one being a 15.5 X 38 instead of the 13.6 X 38 ( 12X38 ) and it is not in as good of shape and it does have fluid in it ( just one tire has fluid ) . It needs a good bath and a rubdown to remove the years of dead paint and accumulated dried grease . I don't know if the hydraulics work or the belt drive but the pto works good with no load , it's got a good /usable clutch , good brakes , new cap , rotor , spark plugs and the gas don't smell bad . I think that maybe the trany/final drive has water in it , that I'll have to check out better . All in all , I'm satisfied , not thrilled with it but not disappointed either . To see a picture of it go to my last post - ( Bob Frey -In regard's to the offer ) ...and look under Ed Topel's reply ( Thanks Ed! ) ...Randy
