    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...

    heat housers

    We had one for our M. Basically just a wind-break with a little heat coming back, but when the wind was behind you, you froze just the same. I would say it was better than nothing, but not much. Ours was in pretty bad shape so I can't speak for how they work when new/good shape.

    M runs uneven at idle

    Thanks guys. It is running smooth now. I had to turn it in and make it richer - almost 3/4 of a turn. Idled beautifully and then I took it out on the road and ran it wide open for a bit and it still sounded good. I really appreciate the help!

    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

    Thanks, I should have thought of keeping it in gas, but now it has been about 6 months that it's been dry.

    Farmall 100 Front Blade

    Not sure if it is too much or not, but it does look like some good engineering!

    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...

    M Lesson

    Just went through the same problems/questions with decals. I got lots of good advice this past week and the link it below. Lots of good photos too thanks to other members. http://www.ytmag.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=farmall&th=887607

    Pulling sector gear from bolster shaft...

    As a side note, my M has front end wobble too when in high gear on the highway. I think I traced it down to slack between the half gear and the tapered spline it mates to. It is down as far as it can go on the spline so I can't tighten it anymore. I got some thin brass shims about 1/8" to 1/4'...

    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

    Boy, the photos on the thread you shared are terrific. I thought it interesting that my '51 M has a different seat support system. Also, the ignition pull switch on mine is located down on the arm that supports the hyraulic lever. Here is another question for you. I see you have the "Dealer"...

    Decal placement on 51 M

    I see them now that I am at home on my own computer. I was at work when I didn't see them and perhaps they have that blocked somehow. Thanks, they are very helpful and your tractor looks great!

    Decal placement on 51 M

    Hi DC. I would really like to see your pics because they will probably be very helpful. But they didn't show up for me. Could you try again or maybe just email them to me. Thanks, Rod

    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

    Here is my fix. John, I hadn't seen your reply by the time I did this, but is it working now so I will leave well enough alone. Thanks for the help.

    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...
