I though some of you might like to see how we do trying to breath life back into the M I bought at auction last Sunday. This is serial number FBK 46982. Am I correct in thinking that makes it a 1941? Be glad to hear your tips and hints as we go. We got the tractor home in nonrunning condition with one stuck wheel.

Now that it will move I think well roll it In the shop and tackle the fuel system next chance we get to work on it.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
