My dad bought a 1965 Ford 5000 SOS in around 1970 that had an M&W turbo on it. He scored a piston plowing that 1st spring with it. He had it overhauled and he always claimed the mechanic told him it was turned up to a little over 100HP. He said no wonder it scored a piston!! He told the mechanic to turn it down to a more acceptable level, I never was told exactly where they set it but I grew up running that tractor and at night there would be be a good 6" flame coming out of the straight pipe and the manifold would be glowing. Only trouble he had after the overhaul was every couple of years or so it would crack a manifold when he was chopping silage or side dressing anhydrous ammonia. I remember 3 hour meters being on that tractor and they all had 6 to 7K on them. I still have that tractor but it finally has some transmission troubles and the engine could definitely use another freshening up. One of these days I'm going to tear into it and if I can get that fixed I'll do the engine and give it a new paint job, lots of sentimental value to me.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
