The H and M were given the same wheelbase, so that mounted implements like cultivators could be attached to either without the need for different parts, like lifting arms and such--this is as I understand what IHC had in mind. Because the engine is taller in the M, the hood is higher and gives the whole tractor a somewhat more massive and compact look. Because the hood is taller than on the H, the steering shaft comes out of the hood at a shallower angle than on the H. The H shaft comes out at a fairly steep angle. All-in-all---this is my personal opinion, now--the H is a more graceful-looking tractor because of the overall proportions of length to hood height. I happen to think that the Raymond Loewy design of both tractors was a stroke of genius, and must have been responsible for a lot of sales right off the showroom floor. I can remember walking into IHC dealers' showrooms in the 40s and just craving one of those gorgeous creatures (I was driving a steel-wheeled 10-20 at the time--a wonderful, tough, hard-steering, noisy, rough-riding old rhinoceros). The difference in hood height is apparent when you stand next to these tractors. Suggest you look through various websites for pictures of both tractors.
