Erik,
You have gotten good advice. I saw your post on the A-C board and refrained from replying over there.
I have a Farmall M and love it. However, it has a belly pump and aftermarket 3-point. It will outpull a lot of other tractors when the conditions are right. The M has anbout 34 HP stock and the WD-45 has a little more than that. The difference is that the WD-45 is much lighter than the M and has smaller diameter tires, giving a smaller ground contact patch. What the M lacks in HP is made up for in traction. The WD-45 compensates for it's lower weight and smaller tires by using it's traction boost system, which works very well, but you will need to use implements designed to work with the traction booster or proprietary snap coupler system. The M, on the other hand, just uses a fixed (or swinging) drawbar. Both systems have their advantages. I would say that you need to buy what best fits your needs and go with that. You might want to look around your area for implements for the WD-45 before committing to buy it. A scarcity of implements might be what is motivating the seller.

My two cents,
Phil
