As far as loading tires, you may find this amusing. We owned a 1968 MF135 4 cyl. gas and a 1973 MF135 3 cyl. gas. At first we used the 3 cyl. mostly for cultivating a garden on soft soil and therefore did not load the tires. Everytime we took the 3 cyl. out to plow, the pull was so jerky that we migrated back to the 4 cyl. with loaded tires. Many years later when I finally loaded the tires on the 3 cyl. it really performed as smoothly and powerfully as the 4 cyl. The nice thing is that because we shunned the unloaded 3 cyl. for so long, we now have a near mint 1973 MF135. It does make a big difference to load the tires.
