Why does my M gallop at high speed in 5th gear?

nylon tires will develop flat spots when setting, tire will be out of round wntil warmed up by using for a while? fluid in tires sloshing and traveling with wheel creating out of balance situation?

After three days on a tractor ride it was still doing it, so don't think the tires still had a flat spot. There is no fluid in the tires.

My first thought is the clamps that hold the rims to the wheels were not tightened equally causing the wheels to be off center. Brian

That was my first thought. A tire shop adjusted the clamps and it still does it.

Mine does that also, I have one front rim that is a little bit tweaked but not too bad, but it does have water in the rears and that is what I was thinking caused mine to do it. I just drove mine 40 miles last monday to do some bushhogging so I had the mower on the back and it would hop fairly good, I just backed off the throttle and enjoyed the scenery. You might get someone to go along side on a bike or something and look close at the tires and wheels if you don't have water in the tires.
