One Cyl M

Well I just got back from a week of clearing some property with my '52 M and a 5 foot bushhog. This is the first real work I have used it for. I thought I needed a bulldozer to to handle the 2" to 4" trees. This M does not have a 3pt, but the bushhog does. We came up with an extra drawbar that when spread open fit over the pins of the mower. We then bolted the extra drawbar to the M's to create a lap. This keeps the bushhog in the down position full time. This configuation might not be the best, but it seems to work very well until I find a 3pt kit. Any way after a few days mowing trees I finally sheared the shaft key.

After the key was replaced, I resumed mowing. This time I soon found myself thinking the tractor was have a harder time doing the work, but it was still getting it done by going to neutral while letting the mower catch up.

Dad finally said to it must have a miss and to check the plug wires. I got off to check for a wire to be pulled off by a limb or something. To my amazement there was only one wire still attached to the distributor. It been running on one cylinder for 5 or 10 minutes.

I looked at dad and said with a smile that it probably mattered where I pluged them back in. Since this is not a new tractor or wires, they had pulled off such that I was able to match them back first try. One had pulled off boot and all that left a clean spot on the distributor, another pulled out of the boot that left a clean clamp on the wire, and the last had not had a boot in some time.

I would really like to find a blade to push up brush piles. I have seen a picture of a blade that mounts on the front and I have seen the 3pt blades.
