Love hearing that story. Getting reunited with the family history is always a great story. Glad the M is back home.

Happy to see you have your family tractor back in the family! I hope I can help you out with your missing pieces. Hope it fixes up quick!

Congratulations on finding your grandpas tractor. We have my father in laws John Deere 3020. It never left the farm but it was the only one we kept when he retired. Family tractors are special for sure

Holy smokes! Way to go Kenny!

Way to go, Kenny! You never gave up on finding your grandpa's M and now it is back where it belongs. I agree, a full restoration is what it needs to match the Case SC and the Memorial Farmall H. Sure, it's going to take a lot of work, but I can't think of anyone else who would do a better job bringing that one back to life. Congratulations! 🚜 👍

Awesome 👍👍👍👍....

Congrats on finding your grandpas M, me and dad found and just brought home my great grandpas 1965 international 806 standard, so we now have every tractor he bought new, unfortunately it was used as a parts tractor but we have all the parts to put it back together

Right On!!!

Appears to be in good shape. Evidently the clutch needs adjustment. Thank you Kenny.

Wow, can only imagine how happy you must be 👍🏻

Now this is EXCITING news! I'm SOOO happy for you. I gotta say, it's ALOT easier to see the 47' leave, when you know you've finally got your hands on THE one you always wanted from the beginning! Bravo Dude👍

Great find. And a lot of work forthcoming but it will be worth it.

Very excited for you Kenny!

Great story! I am all for family heirlooms being kept in the family! Did you notice the rain flap in the video hauling the '47 trade, standing wide open as you're going down the road,, this is why you have them turned at 8:30 clock position so that it points off to the side of the tractor and a little bit rearward so you don't have that issue,, Also noticed on Grandpa's tractor you hauled home,, the raincap point to that 12 o'clock as well, not a good idea even though it may never see a trailer, you want to have the exhaust blown away from the operator off to the side,,, of course

Very cool!!! Wish I didn't live so far away, I could give you some parts off of my '45 M for it. Great find. It took me 30 years to find and get home, my Grandfather's truck so I know the feeling. 👍👍👍

Great work and persistence! Can’t wait to see the work done on this it will mean so much more to you!

Awesome

First, lol had to do it. Glad you found grandpa's tractor. I know the feeling from when I took ownership of the last two cylinder that my grandpa bought.

Terrific news and a new project.

Hey Kenny,,pretty cool to get that tractor back. She looks to be pretty straight.

Way cool ❤

Thought that might have been you! I seen you come through Otsego with the 40 M on the trailer.

I think Panning Brothers in Gibbon still has several parts M tractors laying around. I think they are trying to retire from salvage.

So cool man awesome work

The loader on dad's old Case DC had more welds than yours! But don't blame ya on scrappin' that one.

Check your engine serial number because it looks like it’s got a fuel pump boss it might be a power unit block or a warranty motor

you probly rode it with grandpa when you were little back then, hope he kept the gears in good shape too

Yeah,,you gotta restore it.

I think the early top plate stopped at #9800 something

What with all the grinding

you want to keep loader on maybe better off.

On second look,not so straight,,lol.
