According to the Jan 2003 issue of Harvester Highlights, the one millionth Farmall rolled of the line in Rock Island at 11:12 AM, Monday, April 30, 1951. This M had a special "1,000,000th" number painted on the hood. The assembly line stopped for seven minutes, to celebrate this feat, and also the 25th anniversary of the Rock Island plant. The tractor was sold to Clint Thomas of Mineral Illinois, who owned it till the 1960's, and is now owned, with the original painting on the hood, by a collector somewhere in the upper midwest. Wish I could see it.
