: I have 1945 M Farmall. It's not what I would call restored, but it looks like it. I put a new exhaust, seat cover, guages on it. I refurbished the radiator, carb, gen, starter. I sandblasted it and repainted it. I decaled it and put a new hood emblem on it. It runs like a top. The tires are good treadwise but have cracks and checks in the sides. : My brother in-law offered me a trade of a running MM Z and a Massey Harris 30 (burnt valves or something in it) plus a little bit of cash to boot (TBD, but probably in the neighborhood of a couple hundred $$). Neither of these tractors are restored but are complete and can be restored. : Am I on the losing end or winning end of the deal, or are we about even. Hows the rear rubber on the Z & 30 ? The M's are really great tractors with good parts availability but are fairly common in number. Due to smaller production numbers and fewer tractors saved as they started getting old and tired, the Z & 30 are probably going to grow in collector value faster than the M . If you are looking for something to take to the field and work regular, Then I would go with the M . Why don't you just keep the M and buy the Z & 30 ? most people I know that grew up in Greenfield In. are rich anyway. ;-)
