[Farmall] [Fwd: Farmall M tractor]

[Mike Sloane]

There are plenty of tractor dealers in the area who will be happy to 
take the tractor off his hands and give him $500 for it, tune up the 
engine, shoot it with some paint, and sell if for $1200-1500 ($2000 with 
the implements) to a collector or farmer wannabe. How do I know? I 
worked for a dealer who did exactly that with a decent M that we too in 
on trade. I would say that your best bet would be a classified ad in 
Lancaster Farming, which covers the Scranton area.
