Can anyone here in this forum narrow down the year this MM was made?

Dwayne,
I'm going to venture a guess that the picture is not recent and you no longer have this tractor. The picture is of a model GTB tractor which was made from 1947-1954. There were approximately 7100 built in that time frame. The straight front axle and clamshell fenders indicate its a GTB. The later model GB had an arched front axle and large wrap over fenders. If my guess in incorrect and you do have the tractor then the serial number will pinpoint the exact year as Howard stated.

Thank you so much for your efforts. You are correct in that the tractor was sold in the 1970's at auction and I no longer have access to it. The picture posted was of our hired hand Howard Eades and myself in the 60's. Howard passed away a number of years ago. My grandfather passed away in 1970. I am trying to piece together enough of my childhood and have been restoring some of the things I managed to save. I/E I have my grandfathers Dempster Windmill, a Ferguson TEA20 under restoration, and a number of antique wagons. The MM was one of the biggest tractors on the farm and I have very vivid memories of this tractor in particular one haying season before my grandfather passed away. I would like to find and restore one just to keep the memories.
There is one detail about this tractor I recall that may help. It had a hand clutch and was very rough and jerked heavily when engaged. My mother also said it did not have a live PTO which made baling very difficult.
Does any of this help?

I have a 1946 UTI with the same fenders, frt axel, wheel wgts, but the grill was curved, other than that it looks very much like your pic. Mine also has dual rear's and a dozer blade. I am interested in selling. I would rather see it restored rather than scrapped.
