I have a Farmall M That says it is a Super M on the decals and I think it iS, BUT the serial number on the block is as follows FBKM 280206 under that is X1

now the serial number on the plat is as follows

FBK 293205X1

Now help me determine if this is a super M or just an M . Yet it has the brakes with the bolt on it but they are the 3 bolt pattern not the 6 bolt ,,, which I understand the early Super M had the 3 bolt brakes as well as it being an option on the M .

Checked the number in 100 years of IH and if would fall in the late 1951 years when the Super M was not made until 1952 I think ???

Your help will be appricated

According to Guy Fay's IH Tractor Data Book, the chasis serial for a Super M should start with SM, and the engine with C-264. Though I have heard that sometimes doing changeovers, there would be a mixture of parts from the before and after changeover models.

Look at the letter code on the castings if it is W the casting is 51 If it is X it is a 52

The serial number says it all, you have a 1952 M, anybody can slap on a set of stickers that says Super M
