The T stands for "Two-row". It was built with adjustable rear tread on a straight axle. They were available with tricycle and wide front ends that I know of, the wide front being adjustable. The serial number plate should have the MT designation. I don't believe any were built before 1949. Yes, you could physically bolt on enough parts but then you'd have MT parts on an M. You couldn't correctly call it an MT because the nameplate would say it was an M. It would not be identified as an M with that MT rear end. (Is the purist in me showing yet?) The only truthful thing about it would be that "It's a Deere."

Hi - The tractors are almost identical, with mechanical differences mainly in the final drives and brakes. The basic configuration of the MT - the T stood for tricycle - was of course in its single and double trike front end.The MT also had dual touch-o-matic in its tricycle form. It was also made with adjustable front axle. The M was available with standard fixed and adjustable fronts. It would be pretty much a bolt-on to convert an M, might have to do a little hunting to find parts and such. If you pick up an I&T, it will give you the basics, but it would probably be simpler to buy an MT, then you'd have 2 stock tractors with proper numbers, and 2 John Deeres is always better. RonMC

I would think that most people today would prefer the M to the Mt. It seems tricycle fronts are out of favor now. Since most don't do row crow applications.
