Lingcod said: (quoted from post at 12:52:38 02/24/10) Not poking fun, just don't know much about the farmalls. From what I've seen in serial number charts, the M was made in 52 and they switched to super m in 53.
Nope.
They made both in 1952. Back then manufacturers made one kind of tractor until they ran out of parts, then they started on the new model. They didn't switch over production on "January 1st" like they do now.
As far as your parts availability, it almost doesn't matter. The M was largely unchanged from mid 1940 through 1952. The only real oddballs were the 1939 and early 1940 tractors, and then it was only with the transmission cover and PTO. The newer PTO and transmission cover will fit on the older tractors.
Here's another little tidbit for you: Some of the last 1952 Ms had factory disk brakes like the Super M. I've heard numbers ranging from 300 to 2000.
If you want confusing, look at the H in 1953. They made FOUR variations of the H that year:
1. Plain H with band brakes
2. Plain H with factory disk brakes
3. Super H with battery under gas tank (referred to as Stage I)
4. Super H with live hydraulics and battery under seat (referred to as Stage II)

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.
