A.D.: The wide front on an M is only marginally safer than the narrow. True tractor stability comes from lowering the center of graviety, best achived by wider wheel treads on rear wheels and ballast in or on those rear wheels.

A narrow front Farmall M with rear wheel tread at 72" centers, wheel weights and chloride in tires, will be more stable than a wide front M without solid and liquid weight added.

To answer your question yes wide front axles can still be bought new from after market companies.
