I too have recently aquired A MF255. And thanks for your notes on engine oil, radiator cleaning, greasing etc.
Mine seems in excellent condition, very tight though I am replacing the right tie rod end. The tach shows about 4000 hours but doesn't work so who knows. The tires are about 2/5 but not cracking.
I maintain a mile of dirt/gravel road to the mail box. Its hilly and with a full box blade of gravel the wheels slip. So, question, How much additional traction can I expect with water in the tires? It seems the added weight might help stabilize its use with the bucked as well. Any advice will be welcome, Thanks Tom
