I'm a proud papa sporting my first M. Needed a tractor for around the farm and after coming out of sticker shock after looking at the new ones decided older was better. Plus the old ones just sound and smell better. After looking at a few and hearing them run I was tractor bit. After a pretty extensive search found a 1940 M in good shape and finally took the plunge. Being a city boy I had to ask a lot of dumb questions - like what every single pedal and lever did, where the oil goes, etc.

My wife doesn't quite get it so just had to "tell someone who cares."

My wife and I moved onto a play farm about 4 years ago. We lived in the city for about the first 12 years of married life. She is from the city and I grew up on a farm. The first thing I did when we moved was get a Super C, brush hog and back blade. She totally did not get why we needed it. She was sure that our little riding lawn mower would handle everything just fine. Well after she saw me drag away large trees, cut through brush that was over her head and plow snow from our 300 foot driveway she got the idea of why we needed a tractor. And I have got her to start driving the tractor and she will actually addmit it is a blast.

Way to go! If you intend to restore her, then be sure to keep us informed of your progress. I just finished my 1946 A in time for tomorrow's parade....took me 9 months, and loved every minute of it. Enjoy it !!

Your "new" tractor has already lasted 63 years, with proper care, it will easily last another 63, something that I am quite sure the new ones you were looking at would not do!

Congratulations on the new arrival!! Be sure to feed & care for "her" as the owner's manual says and you both will grow older with many years of tractor fun times.
Don't forget to show off your new "baby" at your local parades, too!!
