nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I would think that this model should bring a few responses. The first tractor I purchased was a 1952 Super M, from the original owner. I don't have photos of mine on my phone, so let's see yours! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twostepn2001 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Not sure if this is a Super M or not. At one time it was for sale but l don't know about now. There was a elderly man that would buy M's and rebuild them. Not for restoration but for use on smaller farms or use at cotton gins. At any given time, there would be 8 to 10 M's lined up by his shop that he had fixed. But later l heard he had died and the tractors started to disappear. l guess maybe his family had sold them. He also had a bunch of IH hit and miss one cylinder engines and IH power units. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandhiller Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I have owned 2 M's, 1 SH and currently this SM. Although not as pretty as the ones in the pics above it holds a place in my heart. When I couldn't afford much it came home and has been a workhorse ever since. It has had the snot worked out of it and only repairs was one clutch. Had live hyd and ps, I added a 3pt I have neglected it when the 656 came home for two years it sat, when I needed a loader tractor to leave at a far away stackyard it was my girl. Went to start it up and it was locked up, drop the starter rock the flywheel a bit and hit the starter, popped right off and ran like a champ. I could go on, big family history with it. All three of my boys learned how to drive on it. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHandJDman Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 My grandpa had a wide front super M lp. He only used it to run a pto grain dryer and rake some hay. It was sold sometime in the mid 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDpartsman Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 My super M that hasn't run since 1988 or 1987 since it's previous owner died. Family that owned it kept it sheded the whole time except a short period where it sat outside while they were moving things around redoing a barn. Unfortunately in that short time it appears they didn't cover the exhaust as number 4 is rusty and it is stuck!!. Just got an engine for it though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forwhldrv Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Here’s my 2 Super M’s both 53’s the one with a loader is a belly pump delete with live hydraulics and Charlyn power steering. The one covered up is a Louisville with a M&W hand clutch on it both have 14.9x38 tires the loader tractor is loaded with 8 wheel weights on the back and a 3” thick plate of steel hanging under the draw bar the hydraulics are slow for the loader but sure beats a shovel and wheelbarrow. The Louisville had been flipped over getting loaded on a trailer when I got it I fixed up what was wrong and put a wide front under it and now it sits 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dale560 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Here is picture of the super m we just acquired. It has been on the farm since 1978 or so but we just acquired ownership outright of it. Missing a couple pieces right now but will be running this summer. No power steering but live hydraulics tractor runs like a top when complete. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Here are my 4 Super Ms. The 1952 Super M that started it all. I believe that the paint on the hood is original. Purchased from my neighbor, George. He bought it new in the spring of 52. 1953 Stage 1 Super M. Purchased from my neighbor Butch. I plan to mount a model 33 loader on this tractor eventually. 1953 Stage 2 Super M. Has a unique paint job! Purchased from the brother in law of the original owner south of Ottumwa. His sister had it serviced and tuned up once a year at Greiner Implement after her husband died. My 1954 Super MTA. Purchased from Colfax Tractor Parts several years before I worked there. This tractor will be at the Roundup that Iowa is hosting in Spencer, June of 2024! When it first came home. Last spring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
