I too am wondering the reasoning behind this. I know there were miscelanious after market items that could be added to the M. The real truth is, they were most likely added to the tractor over the years for an operational reason and not just because they were available. I'm just saying that an owner most likely wouldn't of added a 9 speed transmission without a good reason. You want some proof on that, look at how many M's still don't have the 9 speed transmission today. Why not go ahead and add cab, air, heat, radio, hazzard lights, power steering, tilt wheel, front wheel assist, dual remote hydraulics, and on, and on, and on. Ya, ya, I know your thinking "Where is this guy going?" . Actually, I am a big believer in fixing one up the way you want it. I just think that adding something just to be adding it not only takes away from the factory originality of tractor, but also seems to be pointless unless you have a justifiable use for that option. It's kind of like taking an old car, setting it on a new frame with mag wheel's and power breaks, adding a V-8 engine, lower the roof 4 to 8 inches, make it a low rider, and add a boom box stereo. Take it to a car show and some people will wrongfully say "Look at that old car." and some people will rightfully say "Look at that custom built car." But hay, some people lean toward custom built, and some lean toward factory origin. I lean toward factory origin, just my 2 cents worth. More power to ya, whatever you do. I like originality in character too, which shows up in alot of people's projects. That is what freedom is all about.
