My "New" Tractor

[JDRanch-Hand]

I know I told you guys i'd post pictures of my recently purchased M International a long time ago, but I just seemed to get busier and busier.

Here it is, 1949 McCormick-Deering-IH Farmall M, with Dual 325 loader and three point.









It sold with this nearly new FieldMaster 3-point post auger with two bits, and two bale spears for the bucket. The lady's husband recently passed away, and she wanted rid of it all.




Also, a local older gentleman who is a great friend of mine gave me this International 35 hay rake. He said he just loved seeing young guys trying to get into the farming and ranching business and wanted me to have a good start. He's had a stroke and can't farm for himself anymore so he just let me have it.



All it needs is new wheel bearings, some serious greasing and oiling, and some work on the rake driveline



Thanks guys. Sorry it took so long

Like the tractor.Has the bucket been made wider on the loader?

Cool tractor. There is a couple around here that still works. They don't see much action but they still get used. I saw a M out in the field helping move round bales.

looks good, and straight, I'd be happy to have it as well, Chris

Looks good. I am pretty sure that is a Farmhand loader on it. It appears that is has had some serious modification done to it though.

Yeah my Uncle Justin and I thought that as well. It was sold to me as a Dual, but I'm pretty sure it's a farmhand. You are right, it's heavily modified, but it works nicely.
