I really understand this and the feelings an old tractor can stir. I have my dad's 1947 M. He passed away in 1986. He bought that M around 1955. That and his 1936 F12 were the only tractors he used from then on. I have pretty much neglected the M until just recently. I just completed some repairs and updates to the old tractor (converted to 12 volt, put the belly pump to use for the first time, added a 3 point hitch, new rear rims and tires, new gauges, steering wheel, seat, changed all fluids, etc. I probably could have sold the tractor and bought one that would fit my needs, but this way I have a functional tractor with 3 point that also has great sentimental value. I was going to repaint, but now I'm not sure. Maybe I'll just leave it looking like the tractor it has become after many years of hard work. If you'd like to see a pic of it before I worked on it, it's posted in the Farmall photo gallery as "1947 Farmall M - Marv G." Marv Gustafson
