[Farmall] M oil pan

[RITA BISH]

John,
 a used oil pan from a salvaged tractor would be fine. Just ask whoever is 
selling a used one to send you a few pictures of it, so you can at least 
inspect it for yourself. I have 2 M's in my shop now that I will be taking 
apart for salvaged parts. I always inspect the parts as I am tearing down a 
tractor, and if they look like junk, the junk man hauls them away. If you 
are interested in a used oil pan for an M, email me off the list at 
sales at daytontractorparts.com  I will do my best to try and fix you up with a 
good used oil pan. Thanks, Kevin.
