I like your spirit! There must be a gazillion show ready Farmall M's in
this country that are trailer queens. There's only a handful that look as
nice as yours still earning their keep. You have the same philosophy as my
kid and his four wheeler. I bought him one that was several years old and
had only been ridden in a yard and streets of a subdivision. I doubt it had
5 miles on it. It looked show room quality despite its age. 2 weeks after we
got it running it was no longer blue but an interesting shade of brown. I
asked if he was he gong to wash off the mud to which he replied that it was
happier than it had ever been. Enjoy getting your tractor dirty!

John, forgot to answer you earlier--but the tractor is actually
comparatively dusty in that photo, relative to what it's been before. :)
But fear not. I don't yet have a brush hog for the old girl, but that's on
the shopping list, and there's quite a bit more wood/brush hauling duty
lined up as well. And if even half a chance comes up when a neighbor
bales my small hayfield, the SM will be hauling haywagons. Having a nice
old tractor is fun, but using it is *really* fun.
