I totaly agree with Stan. One other thing to look at is the carb. The all-fuel has the carb, TSX-475. The gas is, TSX-245. If you do have a all-fuel M. It is VERY RARE!

According to an article in the October 1995 Green Magazine, there were apparently some built, probaby in 1949. There is no information available as to how many, but they can be identified by the two fuel caps and corresponding holes in the hood, and a three-way fuel valve controlled from the dash.

Most were probably exported, but some were probably sold in the southeastern part of the U.S.

A direct quote from the article says, "Any 'M' series tractor built as an all-fuel would be a rare find".

JDM, I have never heard of an all fuel M. The all fuel tractors had 2 gas tanks. The small one was for about 1 gal. of gas to start the engine on. The big tank, you used what they called (back then) tractor fuel or distillate. Think it was a cross between kerosene and diesel fuel. The all fuel tractors had lower compression and slightly less horsepower. The purpose of this was back then every penny counted and the fuel was cheaper than gasolene. Once you got it started then you would switch it over with a lever to the fuel.
