Yep, that is a nice looking M. Have you figured out what year it is by the serial number? Any other options like power steering, live hyd, etc? I envy your rear tires. My '51 M has one good Firestone 23 degree tire and the other rear tire is a 60 to 62 year old Gillette brand tire, never seen another tire of that brand, had to be cheap for Dad to by them, the rubber has cracked most of the way around the tire zig-zagging between the inside ends of the lugs, deep cracks too, through 2-3 of the 6 plus, and now the inner tube has got pinched and goes flat in a week or two. The factory original tires on that M were Generals with the check mark shaped lugs. They got put on the M&W direct axle duals Dad bought about 1960. Spent many afternoons mowing hay with a worn out Oliver sickle mower behind a '39 Farmall H, used the '54 Super M-TA one day, the H wore my left leg out clutching when the sickle plugged, SM-TA the live PTO was too hard to disengage with my tiny 10 year old hands. The '54 Super H with live hydraulic worked great mowing hay, 20 acres too 4 hours to mow. The 6-1/2 mph 4th gear sure beat the 5 mph 4th in the H.
Both the Super H and '51 M are retired now, they do a little loader work as required.

The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
