ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #1 Posted April 26, 2020 Drug another old M out of a barn and to the house today...not exactly mine but I have an idea that it will be in the future. Rodger had this tractor in a barn here in town for a few years since he bought it...we figured he needed to get it out of there as the people who owned the barn are trying to sell it. He asked me if we could bring it out to the ranch and I told him that was fine or I would gladly haul it to his shop for him, that's when he winked at me and said the reason it's been in Gage all these years was cause his wife didn't know he had it. So we drug it out to the house, I'm gonna get it running again and he told me if I could make it run I was more than welcome to use it for whatever I needed since mine is down with a leaky radiator. I'm not sure but I have a sneaking suspicion that this tractor will end up being a permanent fixture around here, right along with the Case and the other M 7 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #3 Posted April 27, 2020 Yep, the Farmalls can multiply as well. I have two Cubs, a 1947 and a 1950, plus a '44 B. I would like to add a Super C and actually found a good candidate, but tractor funds (and space) are limited. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh500special 2,183 #4 Posted April 27, 2020 Are both of “your” M’s widefronts? Those aren’t exactly common around here. I can’t tell the difference anymore between a factory WFE and a Swartz replacement, but that looks factory to me. Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #7 Posted May 4, 2020 Messed around some with Rodger's M this weekend and heard it run for the first time in years...old carb was gummed up terrible. Overhauled it but it will only run on full choke and floods out if you're not careful, only thing I can figure is that maybe I got a bad needle and seat with the cheap Tractor Supply kit we bought, swapped the carb off of mine over on to it and it starts and runs perfectly 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
