Well fellas after posting the restoration process for 16 months I finally applied the decals and she is finished!
Thanks for you support and expertise when I needed help.

Very nice. It is a great feeling of acomplishment when that last decal is applied and you can step back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Beautiful!
There were very few MM's around here. I don't know why. I have long admired them.
A couple of observations- I wonder why they were so modest with their decals?
Those axles look especially long. Are they standard?
 
The axles are commonly used where sugar beets were grown; the long axles were needed because of the row spacing and equipment mounted on the tractor.

Tractors with a single front and long drive axles were common in sugar beet locations.

Our super H had long drive axles.

Bob,
Thanks for comments! I agree on decals these are whats shown in book.
However, I shrunk the hood decals because the political correct is above louvers on this model However the larger ones will not fit under muffler .
This tractor is a factory UTN which is the single front and the longer axles for specialty crops with cultivators and planters.
This tractor lived its life as one of two on a 160 ac cotton farm in Pixley Ca.
The owner used this one on Cultivator & planter and the other utu for tillage.
The red brackets on front is for a four row cultivator the belley brackets were for rear planter MM mounted planter unit.

Beautiful job! Parade ready! For some reason there were very few MMs sold in these parts.I don't think that there was even a dealer around.
 
Tony,

Nice restoration. Time now to load it up and drive over to Five Points John Deere and show my brother. Tell him Ron sent you!!!

An antique place (www.farmamerica.org) where I volunteer has a 1947 "U" narrow front (two wheels) that we finished a mechanical restoration on. So far no plans to paint it.
