Looks like a decent specimen!! Thanks for rescuing it. I used to tractor pull and got kind of bored of it so I'm all for putting that one back in the field. 😂
Runs like Swiss watch. Let it pay for itself. it'll last a lot longer in the field than yanking it around yanking stuff. That's MY 2 cents worth. Blessings and a fine new year to yall.
Excellent Dr. RUST on your dad found this for 1953 fix up plus paint with new decals too nice shape for 1953 model! Plus I have Ertle small tractor in orgnail packaging from 2002 year plus Tilleage Cultivator to my late Dad bought me for late Birthday present in Plow Match in Ontario Canada back then ! Still have price tags on packaging to Lol! Also Happy New Year 2024 ahead to!
This is dad, I grew up with a M on the farm. I screwed up when the Dr was little and let it get away. I have sort of wanted to get one for myself for a while (since doc brought Lester home) and this one popped up on the facespace. The deal was good enough to take a risk. I don’t see it leaving for a while. Restoration is not in the plan but preservation is. Kind of like VGG, just save them from scrap and keep them in circulation. I have some crazy mods I’ve been wanting to try and this might be the right specimen lol.
Buff up the reliability and put a linseed oil finish on it (lasts about a year stored outside) to shine it up and sell to a young farmer getting started. Those tractors fed the nation for decades and can do so again if given a bit of care.
That M sounds good and I would get it back to what she was . Should not take to much. A good clean and paint and decals and there you go. Off to the fields to work that PTO . Thanks for this video. Check out "Just a Few Acres Farm" Pete has a few Farmalls he has stripped down and restored. Nice work and good channel detail.🌞
Yes, They are/were a good tractor. If it was Green it would have a much, much higher Value even though the Green one is no better if even a match for the Supper M.
Restore it back too original fresh off the assembly line condition. And then do whatever it that people do with a 1953 teactor restored too mint condition. Sale it, give it too a Museum, work it. You make money off the videos restoring it don't you

That tractor sounds sweet
I think it’s going to be a really strong runner after a tuneup
@@DrRust gas burner?
@@DrRust dang it thought you were the Massey fergesun channel...they dont have much of a tractor if you ask me
Yes it’s gas
I don’t know much about masseys
@@DrRust I have 2 m's and a 100,plan on going through them in the near future
Nice addition to the fleet.
Thanks

I watch most of Pete’s stuff and I met him in person last year super cool guy in person he’s like he is on camera
Thanks for watching
I would take another PTO and install it on this tractor, then dyno it. That's the only way you know exactly what you have.
I could do that but so far I haven’t found a local dyno I’m thinking about trying to build my own dyno
@@DrRust all dealerships have a dyno. Call one and ask how much to dyno your tractor. It might cost a hundred.
I wouldn’t be worried about the cost just because I’d like to know what several of my tractors have for power I’ll try the local Ih dealer thanks
Kind of weird sm 1953 w/ war time metal gear shift knob.
That’s a aftermarket chrome one with overspray and moss on it
