Jerry welcome to YT! The key things you said about his
use of the tractor.. plow a ..small.. plot and generally ..putt
around.. Back is the day when it came time for a farmer to
do his heavy tillage, say plowing it was not uncommon for
him to start his tractor early in the morning and run it 8, 10,
12 hours straight at 80 percent load or more and do that
multiple days in a row, maybe even a week or two. I do not
think your description of your fathers use will come close
to tasking the tractor as I described. So point being the
valves will be fine. M & M tractors are known to be built
tough, a farmer we farmed with back in the 70s - 80s had a
couple propane burning units which served him well. One
was a M-670 Super which is very similar to the U302 but
about 80hp. I am not sure if the Ampli-torque is optional,
but if your tractor has one just be aware that in the low ratio
side the tractor will not have engine braking. Meaning
going down a slope the torque one-way clutch will over run
or free-wheel. This is an inherent part of the design. Early
Farmalls with Torque Amplifiers have this same attribute. I
am attaching a previous YT post that discusses lubricant
for the Ampli-Torque. I think SWMolines replies at the end
address the actual concerns.
