No idea out in the Minot area. Last time I was out that way about the only guys with small equipment like that were collectors. I can buy a new compact tractor that will perform more tasks that an M given implement availability. Plus smaller and easier to store. Or I can buy a 4 wheeler and put a blade on it. Now I have something to push snow, play and take to the lake for ice fishing.
I have an M. It ran. Didn't even start it this year. Got a Ford 860. Shorter, smaller and can get in the woods with a brush cutter way better than the M. Bout the same HP. Factory 3 point with draft control too. I can find implements for it too.
Here, west MN, bout 90 miles south east of Fargo an M, restored, is an 800-1000 tractor. As a working tractor with a loader maybe 1200. Now to make the M really usable you have to add power steering for the loader. That's going to be about $750 out of pocket plus instillation. Your time is worth something. 3 point so you can find usable field ready implements is going to run another 1000. Add on another 1K for a live hydraulics unit. HMMMMM...that's 1200 for the tractor. Plus 750 = 1950. Plus 1K, that's 2950, plus 1K? That's 3950. You can get a pretty decent much newer tractor for that money that has power steering, a factory 3 point with draft control, live hydraulics and live PTO.
Those are all issues that affect the value.
Being in or near Minot? Who, except for collectors wants an M? Or that D Case? And the collector market has been drying up. You my friend are in one of the worst areas I can think of for those tractors.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
