Amazing how the sound of that tractor brings back memories from 50 years ago. Sounds like new!

I always like to see people modernizing older tractors to keep them relevant and useful. There are plenty of restored and preserved original tractors, so it's nice to be able to make modifications to suit your needs and not feel bad about doing it.

I never knew you could make a M have a 9 speed transmission!! Had one in the sixties and seventies. Would have been nice to have the extra gears!

Very nice! All you need now is 3 point hitch.

Nice tractor! Spent a lot of time on a H, WD45 and a D21 as a kid

That is the way they should start, sounds great never forgot the sound.

Also on my M it came with some kinda dealer installed disk brakes. They're shot now , and to get them relined is gonna cost a bunch of $$$. I just ordered a dual hydraulic master cylinder, cable / hydraulic calipers. Gonna make my M automotive disk brake with cable parking brake. When my back is out it's hard to set the parking brake, so the cable brakes will be the bomb 💣. If they work well I'm thinking about making them a kit and selling them.

I own a 1948 Farmall H with a Heisler 9-speed; first H I ever saw with this option. Normally, the Ms had the 9-speed addition. They were great for hauling loads of ear corn or pulling a rotary hoe. I live in NW IL and have plenty of gravel roads out here to "get lost" in the country. I had it converted to 12 volts about 5 years ago and wish I had it done sooner. Thanks for showing us your M.

Nice rig love the improvements.

Looking good, runs good, and scoots right along. I always thought a 9 speed would be nice to have.

That would be cool if you added the aftermarket 3 pt. hitch on it as well.

Enjoyed the video .

SWEET !

Nice tractor...field ready

nice tractor ! I like how everything looks wouldnt mind seeing a detailed setup of the hydraulic system. would love hydraulics on my M

Damn dude badass

I like it... Im restoring my 2nd 52 super m, i restored a 53, and i had a sharp lookiing 41 h.... wish i would have kept it.... keep up the good work... where about you from?.... we have lots of hills and hollers in northwest Missouri... and trees....

I think some of the newer Ms were credited with speeds up 22 MPH.

With a good paint job be a really nice tractor

I'd love to see just how this transmission works. Have been looking for information on it for a while.

Big reason why fellas did that was for being able to hoe corn. Other wise 4th gear to slow. 5th gear in a m could out run anything in road gear.

My super m has 18.4 38 tires I think it goes faster in 5th than I trust my ability to correct for the worn front end

If I understand you correctly, you still don't have live hydraulic, you need the clutch engaged. Have you considered adding a hydraulic pump driven from the crank shaft, live pump, 3000 psi and 25 to 35 gpm.

How does you m start in the cold with the pertronix ignition?

should really get a 2 point ih quick hitch on it i have one on mine and i put a third link point on it for 3 point hitch implements.

Shouldn't a 1941 engine have magneto ignition?
