late 1952 m pics

a while back somebody was interested in the last of the farmall m tractors. my 52 m serial number is in teh 296000 series, and from the ansewrs i got yesterday, the last one was 298218, so it was about one of the last 2000 off the assembly line. here are some pics, its a working girl, no trailer queen, and as far as i know, still has the original paint and decals, also rather well worn!!

She's a sweetheart, Glennster. Disc brakes and all. I don't think I'd repaint that one - just carefully buff 'er out and then give it a waxing, after a good pressure wash, of course. My SM has less paint than that and I gave 'er the ol' buffing job..... Personally, I like that look.
Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

What's that lever sticking up to the left of the steering wheel?

Hey Glennster,

What manufacture are those rear tires, That's a unique tread design.

rears are bfg silvertowns. the bracket by the throttle holds an extra spring to keep the throttle locked down. i think it was added when the welder was installed to be sure the throttle held steady, dont see any other reason, so i left it on there.

Interesting drive for the welder. Did you put the V-belt pulley on the belt drive yourself? belt appears to be an old IH belt with the red insert where the numbers are. I have thought about doing something similiar to drive an external hyd pump to get enough capacity to lift a hyd auger

I was wondering the same thing when I saw the block on the clutch. I like the belt drive welder. I have been contemplating installing a ZENA welder on the Farmall 504 diesel. By the way, slick original speciman you have there.
