I didn't double check, but I think M was the standard suffix for these [pretty sure everyone I've seen]. You're smack in the middle of the '29; about half of the updated 15-30 [22-36] were '29.
If it was stored in a barn it's whole life, and didn't get excessive hard use you may have a pretty nice speciman there.
Side curtains are hard to find, and I don't think anyone is selling reproductions right now, but if you can find a hood, tieing it down with wire does have a certain historical appeal though not factory correct.
If you want to use an F-4 mag, dime/dozen is only a slight exageration - you can get it fixed or traded for likely under $100. I believe 29's should have an E4 [and I like the look at that], which are easy enough to find, but could cost several hundred if you want it rebuilt.
Starting tanks can be had easy enough [I think the rebuild kits are around $75 if you have the base yet], also, you'll likely want road rings or rubber tires if not plowing with it, so I'd consider the lugs a non-issue.
What manifold? Exhuast come out by the air-cleaner or does it go straight up? The former is original, though the aftermarkets I understand are just as desirable to some people - so I don't pose the question as that of value, but the latter would make the starting tank mute.
Don't know about your area, but a non-running one around here won't likely fetch over $500 as you can easily put 10X that into it; your find might be worth a bit more if everything looks pretty well there and tight.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
