: I have 1945 M Farmall. It's not what I would call restored, but it looks like it. I put a new exhaust, seat cover, guages on it. I refurbished the radiator, carb, gen, starter. I sandblasted it and repainted it. I decaled it and put a new hood emblem on it. It runs like a top. The tires are good treadwise but have cracks and checks in the sides. : My brother in-law offered me a trade of a running MM Z and a Massey Harris 30 (burnt valves or something in it) plus a little bit of cash to boot (TBD, but probably in the neighborhood of a couple hundred $$). Neither of these tractors are restored but are complete and can be restored. : Am I on the losing end or winning end of the deal, or are we about even. I would say keep the M. sounds like you have it fixed up pretty good and they are a good tractor. You would probally come across a massey or MM cheap enough that wouldn't need as much work as the ones that you are being offered as trades that you could buy one and cost less in repairs in the long run, if you decided you needed another tractor. A couple of hundred wouldn't pay much towards a valve job plus whatever else came up. There is usally a reason for someone wanting a trade and you can be sure they want it to come out in their favor. I always belive if what I own is good or better than good why part with it. just my 2 cents worth.
