Im looking at buying an M4500. Does nyone kno if they have any weaknesses. Is it true the heads are prone to cracking? And if so are they easily reapirable or is it a major. Thanks.

Hey! Someone wake up the old codgers who actually serviced these things in their heyday! :p Be great to get some first hand feedback :) for us M4500 owners.

They are a good tractor and the head is NOT prone to crack unless like any other engine, you severely over
heat it.
