[AJD] JD MT or JD 40

Howdy guys,

Here's what I think is going on with the MT on eBay.

1)  It's an MT with an M front axle and bolster.  Not an MT with a wide 
front, it's simply an MT that someone has fitted with an M front axle and bolster.

2)  It has an MT nose (sheet metal) because the MT's had the hole for the 
cultivator bracket in the center.  The M's did not.

3)  It has Allis Chalmers rear spin out wheels.

4)  It has Ford 8-9N lower tug arms and adjusters.

5)  The external hydraulic valve  was added by tapping into the high pressure 
hydraulic line


We see lots of MT's that have been retrofitted to make them more useable in 
our hilly environment.   It's more useable but definitely would take alot to 
put it back to original.
