The story I was told was these tractors parts were built in Germany or built here and assembled there. Anyway the U.S. office told the german office to pack up and move everything out of the country as Adolf Hitler was showing his back side, then later when the tractor parts were here the tractor was built from spare parts after the assembly line was shut down for F-30 and the M took over. The tractor has a post production serial number. I also know that the engine serial number does not match the frame/tool box number. so it may not have the origional engine either, the engine number is higher than the tractor number so it too was built after the f-30 assembly line was shut down. I'd like to post some pictures here, but do not know how. There is one photo over in "help identify" in the galleries. Mr. Fay I've checked every book about the F series tractors I can find but, have never seen any archive photos or information about this tractor. The only part of this tractor that didn't come out of the International factory is the Monroe ride seat, and I've heard talk that even the monroe seat could have come thru the factory as an ad on. The wing nut on the radiator cap is over 6 ft. off the ground.
