First off, I just wanted to say thank you all!!!
Really appreciate all your input, and by no means did I feel "undershot" as someone may have thought. Like I mentioned, we're sort of new to Farmalls. I've been reading the archives, but one of the things I love about a fast moving forum is the human interaction!!! It's looking like an MV would be the way to go... A fine looking tractor. I'd also be very curious about a 450 high crop, but have yet to see a photo of one.... Someone mentioned making our own high crop out of an "M" and a cotton picker using bull gears... If that were the case, then the machine would be running backwards correct? I'm really liking the idea of the MV... Just sort of seems like a tractor I couldn't really go wrong with... Still I'm doing a lot of reading up on them... Did they ever use a narrow front? And, are they really that impossible to find???
One more thought, my wife (who is very taken Mr Red :){grin}) will not be "farming" with the tractor. I think that with some basic caution, she should be able to handle it OK... No hills, or ruts.... Mostly to drive during the tractor shows' "parade of power" drive around the fair grounds... Mostly first gear stuff...
Anyway thanks again!
Adam

If you want a nicely restored MV, I know a guy who has one for sale. Email me if interested.
A wife that likes red tractors- you did great!

If you go the cotton picker bull gear route you reverse (flip) the differential and then the tractor goes forward with the bull gears. Also don't forget to turn the guide wheel around so the caster will be to the rear and it will steer correctly. The cotton picker M at Eaglesville still had the guide wheel in the position for rearward movement. I bet it drives like a dog on the road.

If you're looking for a large single front wheel for M or H there is a salvage yard near fresno that has a few on hand.

The drop axles on an MV do not use a bull gear to get the axle drop. There is a chain drive in the drop potion of the axle so the tractor goes the same direction and speed as it was originally designed. You can put the drop axles and single wheel front end from a cotton picker on anything from an M to a 560 I believe.

I was recently looking at two high models at the Rock River Thresheree in Wisconsin. If you'd like, copy and paste this adddress, and then look for the photograph titled "High Steppers".
