Identifying farmall super M

FarmallM870

Hello all,
I recently picked up a new tractor to restore, checking the vin number and it doesn't match the M or Super M numbers. I've been looking at all the ways to identify a super M and it looks as if that's what I have. It has disc brakes, live hydraulics. It's a late serial number and it is a 1953-1954? The last M number I can find is 290*** mine is FBK297655X1. I've been looking at other ways to identify Super M's and there is a number stamped on the back right side of the engine block but I'm not home to check it at the moment. Anybody have an idea if this is a true Super M? I'm new to this site and I will post pictures once I figure out how, I also have a 1951 H that I brought back to life and restored about 4 years ago, and I have a 1968 international 656 utility with a nice bucket loader on it that I use for my main tractor on my farm. Any input on this new project is helpful.

Hey thanks a lot for the quick response. I was hopeful it was a super m but I kinda figured it was just a regular M with all the goodies!! Don't want to restore it and put the wrong badges on her!! Crappy part is I just posted a bunch of pictures on here and they say 1953 Super M! Either way I'm going to have lots of fun restoring it.
