One problem with turning the brake drums may be that you end up that the new brake bands are too long. I put new brakes on an I-6 (same as an M). Things had to be adjusted quite a ways farther than I expected to get the pedal travel where it needed to be. If I had turned down the drums, I might have been near the end of the adjustments. If the drums are reasonably smooth, I would not mess with it. If you decide to replace the pinion seals, see my post below. Also, be sure to get the gasket that goes under the washer on the end of the pinion shaft. The washer retains the drum on the shaft. If you don't put that gasket in there, the oil will leak around the shaft splines.
