Hi , I was out playing with my M putting gear oil in it and trying to get it started after I flooded it . I had to come in the house to consult my manual for spark plug gap and noticed while looking that my seat and carb don't coincide with the pictures in the manual ( dated 1950 ) , my M is a 1947 . The seat has the shock at the extreme rear of the bar behind the spring ( which is to light duty for my 265 lbs ) , the book show's it forward of the spring in the special equipment section , and my carb has a drain cock AND a drain plug which should only be on a distillate carb . Is this set in stone ? My engine has the serial # 132866 with X1 below and to the right on the pad and the tractor has the serial # FBKM 134666 X1 , is this engine supposed to be in this frame ? I understand from an earlier post that the M in FBKM means that it has the optional low speed trany ? It also has the M&W 9 speed . Thanks for any insight ...Randy
