Back in the late80/early 90s I was told that someone in Mexico/South America had started remanufactureing an M Farmall clone(with upgrades). I was told this by several scorces.Supposed to be a simple inexpencive tractor.However,I have never found any proof.always wondered if it were true,or I was being fed a line of 'bull'.Anyone else ever heard that?
 
First that I have heard of this. Having said that the M would be a good choice for a revision. Any reboot would most likely have a 3 pt hitch. Transmission driven PTO to save on cost. Mechanical steering and minimal sheet metal to again save on cost. I don't know that the belly pump saves any money so does the pump go in the distributor location like a Super M or do they do something different? For remote areas hand crank start and magneto? A true 248 engine? Usually, a 1960's Ford or MF are the choices for a reboot.

ay have been a English or Australian version of the M as they continued in one place or the other I think into the 60'S. The had the three point and other factory options we never had here. Seems like they had a direct start diesel when we had the gas start. Was not designated as an M in the later years I think.
 
You are talking about the B 450 made in the British realm. Then there were the M's fitted with a Shepard diesel engine. Back during the 1990's there were relief
efforts aimed at sending American tractors over to Africa and Asia. Most of the focus was on 8N and 9N tractors but I would imagine any high volume tractor with
good parts availability at least got some thought for this.
 
I was selling a 1970 Ford 4000 8? years ago and got calls from tractor jockeys wanting to send it to Belize, Vietnam and somewhere in Africa.

hat is correct the BM was British built and had a fully integrated 3 point on the later ones. Their wide fronts were like the more modern ones. Australia also had a variant of the m built much longer than the M but called something else altogether but still under the IHC logo and built by them. Can't recall just what I saw about that but this was if I recall done into the 60 or as late as early 70's. I will see if I can find anything.

hould have said Super AM7 made in the late 50s
 
Make it more like the 460/560, live pto, stick a live hyd pump somewhere in the rearend, and the buyers choice of a 264 cid gasoline or direct start diesel. With today's rapid heat glow plugs you could have the glowplugs activate 5-10 seconds and still start good. Oh, and make PS standard.

There is the story that Mahandra in India built a copy of the IH 444, 454 and similar.

I know when I was looking for a new replacement hydraulic lift cover piston, ended up crossing over to a Mahindra part.
