Yep, that is a nice looking M. Have you figured out what year it is by the serial number? Any other options like power steering, live hyd, etc? I envy your rear tires. My '51 M has one good Firestone 23 degree tire and the other rear tire is a 60 to 62 year old Gillette brand tire, never seen another tire of that brand, had to be cheap for Dad to by them, the rubber has cracked most of the way around the tire zig-zagging between the inside ends of the lugs, deep cracks too, through 2-3 of the 6 plus, and now the inner tube has got pinched and goes flat in a week or two. The factory original tires on that M were Generals with the check mark shaped lugs. They got put on the M&W direct axle duals Dad bought about 1960. Spent many afternoons mowing hay with a worn out Oliver sickle mower behind a '39 Farmall H, used the '54 Super M-TA one day, the H wore my left leg out clutching when the sickle plugged, SM-TA the live PTO was too hard to disengage with my tiny 10 year old hands. The '54 Super H with live hydraulic worked great mowing hay, 20 acres too 4 hours to mow. The 6-1/2 mph 4th gear sure beat the 5 mph 4th in the H.
Both the Super H and '51 M are retired now, they do a little loader work as required.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
