I just bought a Farmall "M" The guy said it was a 1949 model but I'm going to check the serial # to confirm. This is my first time owning an antique tractor and first time going to attempt a restoration. The tractor looks mechanically sound though its not running right now. The owner let it run out of gas while bush hogging and got trash in the carburator. He's a local farmer in a small town in the next county over, others have told me his word is good. I looked the tractor over and did not find any welds, the frame is not damaged, and the tin is straight, but the paint is very faded and has slight surface rust, It looks as if the tractor has never been repainted. It has a homemade 3pt hitch that the owner said works great, though it doesn't look as professional as the 3pt conversion kits I've seen advertised here. I went to go get the tractor last night and soon found out that I needed a wider trailer 6/12'x16' and that two 2x6's braced together as a middle ramp snapped into like twigs under the weight of the front end. I'm going back tomorrow with a car hauling trailer with a winch. I'm anxcious to get this baby home. I will keep you posted and will try to upload a picture. So all you farmall guys look to see my post here and on the farmall forum, as I am sure I will have lots of questions.

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.
