I didn't double check, but I think M was the standard suffix for these [pretty sure everyone I've seen]. You're smack in the middle of the '29; about half of the updated 15-30 [22-36] were '29.
If it was stored in a barn it's whole life, and didn't get excessive hard use you may have a pretty nice speciman there.
Side curtains are hard to find, and I don't think anyone is selling reproductions right now, but if you can find a hood, tieing it down with wire does have a certain historical appeal though not factory correct.
If you want to use an F-4 mag, dime/dozen is only a slight exageration - you can get it fixed or traded for likely under $100. I believe 29's should have an E4 [and I like the look at that], which are easy enough to find, but could cost several hundred if you want it rebuilt.
Starting tanks can be had easy enough [I think the rebuild kits are around $75 if you have the base yet], also, you'll likely want road rings or rubber tires if not plowing with it, so I'd consider the lugs a non-issue.
What manifold? Exhuast come out by the air-cleaner or does it go straight up? The former is original, though the aftermarkets I understand are just as desirable to some people - so I don't pose the question as that of value, but the latter would make the starting tank mute.
Don't know about your area, but a non-running one around here won't likely fetch over $500 as you can easily put 10X that into it; your find might be worth a bit more if everything looks pretty well there and tight.

Today's Featured Article - 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
