A lot may also depend on what you want to do with the 3 point... you will not have draft control with any add-on 3 point, so you will be at a disadvantage for most tillage implements. But you no doubt already have that on your John Deere and may not need it on the M.
The M can still be a useful tractor without the "extras", so you need to assess what work you really need those "extras" for, then look at your options for adding a tractor to do those things. You may be able to find something for the $3-4000 it will cost to add to the M. If you have a good shop, time and ability to fabricate everything, that would also be a consideration. A lot of attachment to those old tractors in nostagic and not really all that practical. You will never add live PTO to it and live hydraulics will still not add draft control for a 3 point. Power steering is about the only thing you can add that will do the same thing about as well as factory. Most any tractor built from the mid-late '50s on will have all the things you need.
BTW, I see you must fly Cessnas... I worked in the engineering dept. of Cessna Fluid Power for 24 years.
