Lingcod said: (quoted from post at 12:50:36 02/24/10)...I guess I've made the assumption that the later years may have parts more readily available and be a bit more user friendly. All of the things I mentioned would be nice but are far from necessary. What I want most is a good solid M that can be a project for me to restore. Did the M have a year that is considered the quintessential M? Did they have any years that had issues with any component that I might want to be aware of? Is there any book or referrence guide for the M's specifically? Thanks again. LC
I like to think of Farmalls as the Chevy of the tractor world. Just about every M part will fit on any other M. Then you can toss the majority of the -6 series parts in there as well. Add in the 400 and 450s as well as a handfull of the 560 parts and there are even more parts available.
I wouldn't say that 19__ was THE year for the M. The normal guy couldn't tell most of them apart, esp from his lawnchair at the parade.
No problems specific to one year bc they never really changed them. The steering gear wobbles in road gear on just about all of them, but you can fix it with about $200 of parts from Carter-Gruenwald Equip.
Guy Fay puts out some really good Farmall books. Not sure if he has one on just the M, but he does have some on the letter series. Don't forget to go to the library and check for tractor books. People forget all about that big brick building downtown nowdays! There are A TON of books at ours on tractors.

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.
