Dang, Brad, good memory… that was ten years ago, right after I’d bought the Super M from a guy who’d had it restored.   I looked back through old photos and found the ones I figure you must have been remembering, and have added them in below.   

On the subject of calendars, this same tractor did once make the Steiner calendar:   https://antiquetractorblog.com/2021/01/14/january-featured-photo-3/.     By now it’s dirtier and not quite so bright, but it still cleans up good.

It’s funny Steve mentions using Dean’s tractor pic for a desktop background. I’m reminded of the pic he shared several years ago at his old place. That M was shining like new in a freshly fallen snow. It was a picture you’d see on a calendar. But I have to admit, it is kind of nice to see those old tractors with a little working dust on them. 😊

I have always admired your 620, Dean.  I have NO need for one, but I want one.

My ever-vigilant email service scrubbed out the pic, alas.  But an earlier pic you sent is one of the background pics I use on my home office computer.

Warm and dry this afternoon, so I took the 620 out to back-blade some areas
in the woods where last winter I'd burned out a few stumps.   I got off the
tractor to open the gates in the pasture fence, and while walking back
thought "Okay, that's a pretty handsome old beast, I'll snap a quick photo."

That went pretty well, so I tried a little video.   Turns out I'm not too
skilled at holding the cell phone camera, paying attention to where it's
pointing, and operating the tractor all at the same time.   I thought this
clip was longer and included more than just a second or two of the tractor
in motion.   At least it sounds pretty good.   And as a consolation prize, I
also ended up with a 6 minute 33 second video taken while the phone was in
my shirt pocket.

Ha ha. I resemble that remark.

Pocket video, I can relate. Would rather operate a tractor than a phone. ?

Nice looking 620, BTW.

Your weather looks nicer than the blizzard we are having too. Send some 
this way.
