    Why won't photos upload?

    Just tried to upload some pics of my finished tractor in the previous post, but none uploaded. Did the upload photo thing at the bottom. Never got any error messages, but no photos showed up? Any idea why? Should I see them when I preview my post? They didn't show up there either.

    '51 M is finished. Thanks to everyone for all the help!

    1951 M is finished! - well, sort of. I can see there are always more things that can be done on a project, but my punch list is going to wait for a while. No way I could have done this without the many experts here who gave me all kinds of advice. This site and your help was invaluable. Next...

    M runs uneven at idle

    Just started my M up for the first time in about 10 months after some restoration. Would never have gotten to this point without a lot of help from many of you, so I want to thank you all. Now that I buttered you up, here is another question. At idle, it will stall or run very unevenly unless...

    Leaky Fuel Bowl

    Reasembled fuel bowl on my '51 M is leaking. It didn't leak previously and during restoration I took it off to clean. Rubber washer/gasket that sealed it seems in good shape so I reused it. Well, it isn't sealing anymore. If you look at the photo I attached, you'll see the seal (sticking out...

    radiator placement

    I am putting the radiator back on my M after being re-cored ($$$ ouch!). There is a good bit of front and back play where the two bolts on the bottom of the radiator go through the frame. Any suggestions on where it should be placed? Where should the shroud be in relationship to the fan...

    Decal placement on 51 M

    As recommended by several of you, I've gotten my decals from Maple-Hunter and am axious to put them on. Just not sure of the placement of a few. My original owners manual shows very few, just the Farmall and M. I have read a certain book would solve these problems, but I only have until...

    quality of decals

    I would like to buy a set of decals for my M. On-line they are all about the same price ($25ish)and are listed as vinyl. I called a local dealer and he said he could get two types, one is screen printed and costs about what the vinyl costs on-line. They also has vinyl decals for more than...

    Lighting for M with photo

    Having trouble with my light switch actually turning on the lights. I tested them before I ran the wires through the box by running them right off the battery and all three worked. I think I might be missing a wire. The photo shows the panel as it was when we removed it and we have hooked it up...

    Lighting problems on M

    I just put the lights back on my M. Had them off for painting. I cleaned all the connections, but still do not get reliable current. One of the three works well and it is the only one that still has the copper or brass tab on the inside of the light housing that comes out and wraps around the...

    Wiring for M

    I would like to replace the heavy guage cable that runs to the starter from the starter button, but I can't seem to find it for sale by itself. Also, I'd like to replace the cable that runs to the rear light, but the price was really high - I guess because of the flexible conduit that it should...

    restarting dry engine

    I drained the engine oil out of my M about 6 months ago before I began restoring it. In order to protect the rings and sleeves, should I shoot some engine oil in the spark plug holes before I turn it over the first time?

    battery box for '51 M

    Would anyone have a battery box for a '51 M that they'd like to sell? I have a good lid, but the box is kaput. Also, many I've seen on-line are powder-coated and that wouldn't match the rest of my paint and I'd need to blast it and repaint. If you have one without holes and bad dents or...

    Shall I use gasket sealer?

    Thanks in advance to all who reply. I have gotten great help from you all over the past week or two. Also I have to apologize for the long-winded story that follows. I replaced the water-header gasket on my M. Before I had removed the cover, I had taken all the hoses off but didn't realize I...

    How to clean-up old tires?

    I am finishing up the restoration on a '51 M and am already over budget. I had always figured new tires would really set it off, and I still think they would, but now I am short of cash. They aren't worn all that bad, but years of field work has left them dull and more brown than black...
