The 450 sounds even better. She has more purr and depth compared to an m.

I remember plowing with the old M on a full moon night , would turn the headlights off and the exhaust and muffler were glowing red Pulled 3 16 ih plow Those were the good old days

wow thats cool

Poetry in motion at its best ! Beautiful rig .

I always loved the low growl of the old Super M. It had great lugging power. The soil being plowed looks really nice.

You have one of the best tractors ever made , keep on plowing .

Very nice looking M Farmall. First tractor I drove at 11 years old. We also had a 3 bottom 14" case plow the M could pull the plow in 3rd gear. We also had a MD Farmall..

It's nice to see someone who knows how to plow. Great job.

I have 2 m's and a 100...just love these old tractors.irs almost as if they have a personality all their own

Boy I wish I could make nice straight furrows like you! That is a beautiful M and I agree it’s good break in a fresh rebuild on a load ! Carry on and God Bless!

Thanks Keith, today's new equipment with GPS makes robot straight rows. Dad taught us to pick out a landmark on the horizon and drive keeping the line of sight on it.

Thanks for posting! This is exactly the set up I used as a boy. Plowed many an acre like that.

We bought a Super M for $925 back in the mid 60s It planted the corn Raked hay And sat at many silos on the blower Then had canvas side curtain cab and hauled manure Sold in the 90s Job well done !

Thanks for commenting Lloyd. I read that IH engineers expected the life of the M to be 7 years. They sure we're able to exceed that!

The lower grill insert was on back order. We have it on now. We wanted to break in the engine before winter. We've found that tractors broke in on a load always start and run better.

Love the sound of the old M!

You did a very good job on this Farmall M, they do not make them like this any more .

M's were badd ass!! no wheel weights nothing just gettin after it!!

Nice job!

Farmall lift all hydraulic pumps are very versatile and dependable. Not live though. Standard is power up and gravity down but there's a factory valve for power up and down.if you have a two way cylinder and don't need power down you can just plumb a return line into the filler neck or just take off the hose for down side. Lots off things can be done with it.

Nice tractor, & plow job

Thanks for the comment Todd

You got a lot better looking ground than mine.

We put a copper pipe on the exhaust to get the noise up higher in the day, I still have the original farmall MD we bought new

Nice very black dirt

My M pulled 3 14s in fourth gear, no problem.

Nice looking "M". Could use some rear weights. Thanks for posting the video.

Yes indeed. Have done some of this myself many moons ago.

wish they made one like this today with a wide front end. I would buy one

Sam Boss A good resource is the Red Power Forum. Here's the address: www.redpowermagazine.com/forums/forum/4-general-ih/ IH called their letter series tractor hydraulic systems lift all hydraulics. Search the Redpower forum for M Farmall hydraulics. Many people also refer to them as a belly bump because of its location underneath the tractor between the bell housing and transmission. they are still readily available from tractor salvage yards and at antique tractor swap meets.

It should have hydraulics on it already. You would just need to plumb in a quick connect.

some rear wheel weights would make a big difference for you

Great tractors just not very fuel efficient

No, they aren't fuel efficient for sure. On high load jobs like plowing we use about 3 gallons an hour. My Dad who grew up working with M's said you would need to refuel mid day to stay running for the afternoon. Latter on he bought the diesel version MD which was able to work a full day on one tank of fuel.
