Hello all. I have posted a few times over the past couple of weeks about the potential to buy an M. I went to look at it two days ago, and now I can actually say some things for sure about it, and I just wanted to know the general opinions of everyone on here. Its a "49 M, that had the engine rebuilt about 500 hours ago with the "power pack". Apparently thats oversize sleeves and the domed pistons to make it the equivalent of a Super M. It has new front tires and tubes, and fairly recent tubes in the rear wheels. The actual rear tires are shot and need to be replaced. It definitely needs a good powerwashing, and it would need paint, as its some shade of dark red right now. It has a wrench for a throttle lever, a cub cadet seat on it, and had a hydraulic pump similar to what you would find in a pickup truck to run a plow added to it for...well...running a plow. The carb has been rebuilt (it was actually missing a jet) and it runs out perfect. The govenor needs to be adjusted for when things are at idle, its a little lumpy there. The current owner is only selling because he got a bigger machine with a loader on it. He knows everything inside and out on the tractor, and seems to have maintained it real well. Im just looking to get a tractor to tinker with and putter around on, not really any hard work with it (at least not yet) and maybe someday put it in the local pulls just for fun. I guess the overall question is what does anyone here think is a fair price for this machine? Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post!

The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
