My first tractor was and is a Farmall M. Many people have seen a lot of the post about the problems I've had with it. Now I need to sell it because A) I need the money B) I can't afford to restore it. I'm trying to sell it for 1000 dollars but for some reason A running Farmall M isn't worth much to anyone. Sure it needs some work and paint, but it runs and would do work. It could be because I live in cecil county maryland. No one wants to make a trip out here to buy an M for 1000. I just dont want to let it go for like 500. I couldn't do that. I need more then that. If you don't have some super duper rare tractor or a John Deere then you don't get any money. I've seen many tractors in worse condition going for more then that. I guess I'll have to end up keeping it around. The only problem it has is the owner before me changed it to 12 volt and decided to not mount the alternator the correct way and cut into and bend up the hood. That made my skin crawl. I suppose they just needed it to work. There is also a dent in the gas tank. That can be pulled out or banged out. The hood can be replaced or welded. It seems that its worth a little more then 500. I just dont have a way to part it out. I need to sell a completely original(except for stupid 12 v job) farmall m. I guess its just a piece of junk. I don't know. Any tractor can be made good as new with a little work and MONEY something I have none of. Some of you know I'm only 15. It's hard to restore a tractor at 15 with no job. The tractor used to be a distiallate tractor if that matters to anyone. Do any of you think its worth anything or junk. Any suggestions. I wish i could just afford to restore it myself and I would.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
