Re: 3500 div5 Farmall M

If your M doesn't have the balls to pull up in
the classes where it SHOULD be, then you better
lighten it, and stay down in the "Powder Puff"
classes.<br><br>This non-sense of cutting up a tractor and trying to
get as light as possible to drop down in weight class
to beat up on lower powered tractors.<br><br>The
real fun is in the 6500 to 10000
classes.<br><br><br>JDF
