I was able to run the M around a little today. It starts good, the engine has good oil pressure, and its charging. The brakes on the other hand will still need some work. I dont think we cleaned them up as good as we should have. We could use some advice on what I am thinking is a governor problem. You can see in the first picture our driveway goes up hill. I noticed that the tractor really bogs down under any kind of load. I put it in 4th gear and drove up the driveway and it feels like the governor is surging. The tractor acts like it is really under a load, then you can hear the rpm increase and it pulls like it should. Then it bogs down again. Back and forth. Ive never had to work on a governor so Im not sure what to look for. I havent read the manual yet or removed the cover plate, too many other things to get done today! What do you think? Governor problem or something else Im not thinking of? Thanks for you thoughts and advice. This last picture is our 1939 M parked next to the auction M. I think they make a good pair! Thanks again.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
