Congratulations on finding your grandpas tractor. We have my father in laws John Deere 3020. It never left the farm but it was the only one we kept when he retired. Family tractors are special for sure

That's pretty awesome! It's great that I was able to find this tractor after 20 years of looking. Couldn't have been done without some help.

Way to go, Kenny! You never gave up on finding your grandpa's M and now it is back where it belongs. I agree, a full restoration is what it needs to match the Case SC and the Memorial Farmall H. Sure, it's going to take a lot of work, but I can't think of anyone else who would do a better job bringing that one back to life. Congratulations! 🚜 👍

Happy to see you have your family tractor back in the family! I hope I can help you out with your missing pieces. Hope it fixes up quick!

Appears to be in good shape. Evidently the clutch needs adjustment. Thank you Kenny.
@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch3 ай бұрын
The clutch is adjusted to the max. I think the pressure plate and clutch disc need replacement. The disc is probably riding on the rivets, which may, in turn, need the flywheel to be resurfaced.

Congrats on finding your grandpas M, me and dad found and just brought home my great grandpas 1965 international 806 standard, so we now have every tractor he bought new, unfortunately it was used as a parts tractor but we have all the parts to put it back together

That's awesome! Sounds like you've got some work cut out for you, but, it will be worth it when done. Sure helps to have parts when you need them!

Very cool!!! Wish I didn't live so far away, I could give you some parts off of my '45 M for it. Great find. It took me 30 years to find and get home, my Grandfather's truck so I know the feeling. 👍👍👍
@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch3 ай бұрын
Oh man, that would be great! That's ok. I am sure I will be able to find the parts I need pretty easily and for fairly inexpensive. M's are a dime a dozen, so parts are still fairly inexpensive for them.

Great story! I am all for family heirlooms being kept in the family! Did you notice the rain flap in the video hauling the '47 trade, standing wide open as you're going down the road,, this is why you have them turned at 8:30 clock position so that it points off to the side of the tractor and a little bit rearward so you don't have that issue,, Also noticed on Grandpa's tractor you hauled home,, the raincap point to that 12 o'clock as well, not a good idea even though it may never see a trailer, you want to have the exhaust blown away from the operator off to the side,,, of course

I prefer the rain caps pointed to the front. Just personal preference.

I think Panning Brothers in Gibbon still has several parts M tractors laying around. I think they are trying to retire from salvage.

Check your engine serial number because it looks like it’s got a fuel pump boss it might be a power unit block or a warranty motor
@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch3 ай бұрын
I noticed the same thing when I picked it up. I know that the engine was not replaced by my grandpa, my uncle, or any of the owners afterwards.. So it would have been done in the past by someone else. Once I get the hood off and the grease removed, I will check it over.

It's just too far gone, and when I have the exact same one already that is in much better shape, it isn't worth trying to save this one.
