Not interested in buying it, but interested to know a bit of history. What's the story on this model?
There is one just listed on eBay in Idaho with a Buy it Now price of $3500. They say there were only around 600 of them made.

Chris, There are a few of us on this board that have them in our collection. The military tractor was pretty much the same as the regular industrial tractor. The main difference is in the engine. It has different size rods and crank. It is also very hard to get bearings for this 220m engine as well. It also has a handcrank jaw at the rear of the tractor. Most all these tractors didn't have power steering or three point. However there was an option from MM that could be bought as kits to equip these tractors with all the regular farm tractors options. These tractors also have the set back axle brakets on them as well. This allows the front axle to be reveresed and shorten up the turning radius. This option can also be retro fitted to the jetstar as well. All of the 400m tractors where built in and around 1959. That is a few of the details on it.

Kevin didn't mention it, but my well weathered example takes serious effort at the steering wheel to turn it. You sure miss the power steering that was on the other models.
