[Farmall] Super M Fan Belt

[Mike Sloane]

It is advice I give for ANY tractor (even those funny green or orange 
ones). While a little water won't likely hurt, it can freeze in the 
winter and lock up the transmisson, and water isn't a good lubricant. 
Just make sure to do it when the tractor has been sitting still for a 
couple of days, so that the water has had a chance to collect at the 
bottom. It will be pretty obvious when the water comes out - the water 
runs out fast, while the transmission fluid just oozes. (Be careful to 
only loosen the plug enough to let the water out - if you drop the plug, 
you will have a REAL mess on your hands and down your arms, etc.)
