Is this [b:07bce089bf]Craigslist[/b:07bce089bf] ad right?
An orchard tractor with a vertical exhaust seems odd.

Appears to be a regular M with some sort of fenders made by piecing together some other tractor fenders onto the original M ones. Supposedly the San Francisco Branch house pieced together a few "MO"s by using
a lower front end (possibly from an MI) and rotating the final drives 90 degrees back. These weren't regular production tractors, but things put together by a dealer and branch to fill a specific need.

This tractor does not appear to be one of those.

just a regular M tractor with rare john deere AO/60/620 ORCHARD wheel sqirts.
easiest way to tell that is that there is a hole on the back right hand side.
that hole is to put the hand crank for the flywheel to turn the engine over when
doing engine repairs.
it is suppose to be on the left hand side though.
if anyone was looking for orchard dress this would be a good doner.
