New Project! not Hot Rod but....
I know this isn't a hot rod but I've wanted one of these since I was little growing up on the farm. We thought that this was the Holy Grail of tractors.
The second picture is what it will look like when finished.

My father in law would be jeolous. He took me to the international ag show in Tulare a couple of years ago. Cool old tractors all over the place there. Looks like this one already is in great shape!

Hard to believe when compared to the tractors of today but the Ms were one of the BIG tractors back in the early-mid 60s.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

It looks pretty nice for as old as it probably is. There is a Massy Fergusen sitting in my father in laws barn that looks a lot like that one.

Yeah, its old, a 1946, from 30' it looks good but there is alot of rust.
It will be cheaper than a car to restore and give me a project for the winter

Tractor paint is cheaper too. I tossed the idea around about painting my truck with an International Harvester red!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

When I was a kid, our "big tractor" was an H---cut, raked, and baled a lot of hay with it.... We never did have an M, think I was about 12 when Dad got a really big 400!!!! Didn't think I'd ever see a tractor bigger then that!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Good lookin' tractor.
Saw this little gem at the Roadster's swap a couple years ago. Hotrod tractors are cool.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Cool tractor - a lot of those old Farmalls out here in Oregon. Been to several shows where they restore these things and they look and sound really great.
Good luck on this on!

They actually made a kit to bolt a flat head V8 into those Ford tractors.
Those are really cool, and sound good!

I remember my granfather telling me to keep my thumbs out of the steering wheel on his M tractor.
I was working on his farm as a kid and he constantly kept telling me that if I drove it and didn't listen to him I would pay.
Well, you know how kids are listening to parents and or grandparents!
We were out working in the field one day and he told me to go up to the barn and get the M out and bring it to him. So I dutifully walked up to the shed were it was sitting and fired her up, got her backed out and started heading to the field.
I got about half way there and found out why you ont have your thumbs inside the sterring wheel. Hit a hole and danged near ripped them off. Thought that they had gotten broken, but just severely bruised.
Never had the thumbs in there again!!! LOL
Great memories and that tractor will look great restored.
I hope that you have a blast getting her done.
Chris
