[Farmall] Re: Super M questions

[Mike Sloane]

I would say that your new machine would be a Super M+. The 400 was rated 
as 45 hp at the drawbar. The Super M was rated at 42. I suspect that, 
unless you are running a baler, you might not be able to see the 7% 
difference.

I am in the process of changing over from dial-up to DSL and am having 
Email problems. So if you don't hear from for a while, I haven't given 
up on old tractors. :-(
