1939 M International Harvester Fence Row Find...Will It Run Video?

Styled by Raymond Loewy, it was one of International Harvester's "letter series", replacing the Farmall F-30. The M was rated for three 14-inch plows.

The M was one of the most-widely produced of International Harvester's "letter series", with 270,140 produced over the 13-year run. The M was equipped with an International Harvester C248 inline overhead valve four-cylinder engine with a 248-cubic-inch displacement, and a six-volt electrical system. The sliding-gear transmission had six total gears: five forward and one reverse.

The M was the larger of the two prominent row crop tractors produced by IH from the late 1930s to the early 1950s, along with the Farmall H and its variants, yet could still use the same implements. As with the other letter-series IH tractors, the M used a modular design that allowed assemblies to be removed and replaced as units. All Ms had hydraulic lifts. Versions were produced for gasoline and distillate fuels. Standard Ms had narrow front wheels on the centerline. Rear wheels could be adjusted on splined axles from 52 inches to 88 inches in width to allow for different row widths. An optional extended axle allowed widths of up to 100 inches.

The standard M's purchase price in 1952 was US$2,400 (equivalent to $23,389 in 2020).

Beginning in 1941, the M's production coincided with the Farmall MD, a diesel version of the M that would start on gasoline until warmed up sufficiently to switch to diesel. A total of 18,253 MD tractors were produced. In addition, IH produced the Farmall Super M from 1952 to 1954. The Super M featured a larger engine displacement than the standard M, at 264 cu in. Variations of the Super M, the Super MD (a diesel version of the Super M) and the Super MTA (with a torque amplifier), were produced. In all, IH produced 44,551 Super M tractors, 5,199 Super MD tractors and 26,924 Super MTA tractors.[5] High-clearance variants for farming vegetables and other high crops were also produced, including the Farmall MV and the MDV (diesel), as well as a standard front version (W-6) and the I-6 industrial tractor. Industrial tractors had fixed wheel widths, different gearing, foot throttles and usually had wide front axles. The M was produced in Britain as the BM.

In the United States, the M was produced in Rock Island, Illinois. Farmall M tractors produced in Britain and Australia were designated the BM/BMD and the AM, respectively. The models produced outside of North America mainly used wide front axles instead of the tricycle arrangement popular in the United States and Canada. The British model was produced from 1948 to 1953 in Doncaster, and the Australian model from 1949 to 1954 in Geelong.The M line was replaced by the Farmall 400.#farming #combine #harvest #johndeere #casein #gleaner#farmer #farming #agriculture #farm #caseih #farmlife #newholland #tractor #johndeere #fendt #farmhouse #tractors #farms #agro #farmersmarket #agricultura #farmersdaughter #tractorlove #agripics #cow #landwirtschaft #agricultureworldwide #farmersmarketfinds #farmertan #farmersmarkethawaii #valtra #farmanimals #harvest #saltbae #farmal#salt #farmerflorist #farmerjohn #farmerboys #farmersonly #farmermarket #farmerwalk #farmersbranch #johIndeere #nature #agriculturebiologique #agriculturelife #farmstand #agricultureaustralia #credit #agriculturebio #farmstead #farmers #traktor #kubota #cows #claas #landmaschinen #rural #agronomia #smallfarm #countrylife #combine #love #ford#peanuts #johndeere #two-cylinder #farming #old #potatodigger #welding #letsgobrandon#caseih #gleaner #beans #harvest2021
