Work Is Never Done

Darned old Hydro 70 has the hydraulics frozen up, so had to feed with the M this morning.

Guess I'd better put a loader on it. Thing is a little light in the front end. :>)

need to put a weight bar on the front of that ole girl hang some 100 pounders on her

I like the size of the front wheels, is that a standard widefront for a M?

Frozen hydraulics down there - it was 2 degrees w/o wind chill before 7:00 this a.m. Lucky you, sounds and looks like ya gots some vinter down der to. I"ve been out blading snow w/my Farmall 340 and eight foot fast-hitch blade and mine is light in the front (wide front) also. I have had two pieces of pie for energy, so Allan...I could come and sit on the front axle for ballast!!

It's a Schwartz front end. Aftermarket, but very common. Not sure what the wheels are off of... I want to say the 460?

Yeah,

Heavy duty Swartz(sp?). Got it from Rusty Farmall of this board.

The wheels and tires came off my 966. Really, REALLY like that front end. She'll spin around on a dime.

Where is your sense of adventure?

We used the 300 to take 4x5s down the road for a short time.

A very short time.

I never knew you could turn a widefront that sharp. That must be handy when you're working. Do the big front tires help with floatation or are they just what was handy when you needed them?

The front wheels look like 6 bolt to me. I thought originals were 5 bolt, maybe the Shwartz is different. But they do look healthy.

It is a heavy duty Schwartz. It comes equipped with the heavy duty 6 bolt hubs. The standard duty Schwartz does not come with hubs. It uses the standard M cast front hubs and rims.

Sorry, but it has that "always running uphill" JD look to it. Otherwise she looks good.
