[Farmall] M - Tricycle Wheel Spacing

[Mike Sloane]

Sorry, Roberto, but a loader works just as well on a narrow front 
tractor as a wide front, and for the same reasons. In fact, the front 
end of a narrow front tractor is considerably stronger than the one on a 
wide front, and the tractor is considerably more maneuverable. A big 
advantage for me when installing the 1701 loader on my 706 was that I 
could drive right through the frame to mount it!. The stability of a 
wide front over a narrow one is a myth, but I will agree that a wide 
front tractor rides a little better over a rough surface (like my lane 
before I graded it level last month).

Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an
injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are 
aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older 
persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all. -Thomas 
Szasz, author, professor of psychiatry (1920- )
