New Project! not Hot Rod but....
I know this isn't a hot rod but I've wanted one of these since I was little growing up on the farm. We thought that this was the Holy Grail of tractors.
The second picture is what it will look like when finished.

My father in law would be jeolous. He took me to the international ag show in Tulare a couple of years ago. Cool old tractors all over the place there. Looks like this one already is in great shape!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Hard to believe when compared to the tractors of today but the Ms were one of the BIG tractors back in the early-mid 60s.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

It looks pretty nice for as old as it probably is. There is a Massy Fergusen sitting in my father in laws barn that looks a lot like that one.

Yeah, its old, a 1946, from 30' it looks good but there is alot of rust.
It will be cheaper than a car to restore and give me a project for the winter

Tractor paint is cheaper too. I tossed the idea around about painting my truck with an International Harvester red!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

When I was a kid, our "big tractor" was an H---cut, raked, and baled a lot of hay with it.... We never did have an M, think I was about 12 when Dad got a really big 400!!!! Didn't think I'd ever see a tractor bigger then that!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Good lookin' tractor.
Saw this little gem at the Roadster's swap a couple years ago. Hotrod tractors are cool.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Cool tractor - a lot of those old Farmalls out here in Oregon. Been to several shows where they restore these things and they look and sound really great.
Good luck on this on!

They actually made a kit to bolt a flat head V8 into those Ford tractors.
Those are really cool, and sound good!
