Hi,

Do you know anyone who would have one of these low gear kits? I guess I just want to drive tractors like the ones I drove long ago. One was a very early M that was turned into an MD and the other was an MD that had a modified engine, duals, and a lower low gear. Really, I can't remember anything that was fabricated on that tractor related to the engine. Although, it seems like the sheet metal was too short, so the MD must have used longer frame rails or something to cause this. So, I don't think that it could be too hard.

I have been considering buying a MDTA and in fact, I found one for a good price. I am not sure if I would like that tractor. Every time I would take the 560 out, I would get yelled at. It would take me too long and they couldn't understand why I would come right back with the M. I was a little bit scared of any of the 560s that I drove and I was always forgetting to throw the TA lever before going down a hill. Now the newer tractors like the 856 I didn't have that problem with. You could pull the torque level and it would slow the tractor. Although, I can't remember International Harvester building one smaller than a 706. That seems like a lot of tractor for a tiller, but I could be wrong. Maybe I should be looking for a utility tractor and then that would be the only thing I would use it for.

Thanks!

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce ... [Read Article]
