Dantex, if you don't mind me asking, what is the specific reason you find climbing on/off a Farmall M particularly difficult?
Tractors of this era were mounted from the rear. Grip the headlight bar with your left hand, seat with the right. Lead with the right foot on the U-shaped drawbar. Left foot up on to the left axle housing. Right leg up over the seat, and you're on!
Works from the right side as well, just reverse the hand/foot positioning.
If swinging your leg over the seat is an issue, try swinging it between the seat and post.
