Got a 1949 m, decent tractor has hydraulic pump issues, nothing terrible, narrow front, recently offered for free 1955 ish 300 utility was in fire in 70s, sat in shop until now, was wondering if it's worth anything, or will anything fit my m, wide front? Live power pump, rear hitch, going to go look at it tomorrow, I'll keep ya updated and see what's all there or not thanks dusty
 
Couple of thoughts. First one would be what has happened to the tractor since the fire. If its back to running condition then the fire probably didn't do much. If its just sitting there burned up then probably
not a lot of anything worth saving. If the hitch is useable it could be worth something for resale but it won't fit on the M. I don't think there is anything on a 300U that will fit an M. If you add a live
pump to the M you will also need a heavier cam gear to drive it.
 
The radiator cap will fit perfectly, as will the distributor (but it will have the wrong advance curve). No other component will fit at all. Jim
 
As was said,nothing from the 300U will fit an M.Anything offered for free is worth hauling home. Then you can figure out what to do with it. How bad is it burned? Any repairs done? Some parts will be salvageable...At the very least,it is worth so much a pound at the local scrap yard.
 
One that has been on fire can many times be saved and used. I have a IH584 that caught fire and was given to me. I had to winch it on the trailer but I drove it off the trailer less then 3 hours after I got it home. I did have to replace a few hoses and the radiator and seat. It still need some thing to be as it should be but I use it as is a lot. Also has a loader on it. Free means you have a lot of room to play and maybe have a good tractor and one can always use at least 2 tractors if not more like 30 which is about how many I have
