It depends on how much money you want to spend after purchasing the tractor. If you're only looking to spend $1000, get a "M" - the engine kits are nearly foolproof & the only machine work that you will absolutely have to do is related to the cyl. head. You can, of course, offset grind the crank & perform other work at extra $$$. For massive HP (not necessarily masive torque) the "M" is a cheaper build-up with the stroker parts readily available. A stout, well-built "G" with the proper cam will pull with a "M" making 20 more HP on sheer torque alone. That being said, I feel that the "G" will be of more value down the road, but you will also pay more to acquire one today. I purchased a running "M" for $1000 and have spent approx. another $1500 (incl. PPG paint, cam, etc. etc.) and will have a 65-70 hp tractor that looks real nice. I could have bought another nice running (not a puller) "G" for $2500 and had to 'freshen' her up & give a new coat of paint - probably $1500. Is the "G" worth $4,000? It probably will be before my "M" is worth anything over $2500 (at least in my part of the country). Bottom Line - Do what will make you the happiest! Good luck :)
