| Yeah, I want to see some pics of this. Never seen an M(unless it was red). Wait, are we talking crawler? I have seen a few of those, but not specifically an orchard model. |

| i don't have a good pic. there is a triangle piece on the seat post and i found a round piece with handles on both sides on a tractor next to it. the other orchards there has a different tail seat a and one has a top seat. there is also two regular m. so i wanted to know what was right. I am going to try to fix the seat. |

| Nice find. M's are a nice little crawler. I think that would be a wild ride on that tail seat in rough country! |

| ask everett048 about wild rides on M tail seats. He is a lucky fellow. |

| There I go again, typing before thinking. Should have known it was a crawler. Fenders look really cool. Never seen an orchard model. Tail seat looks like it might be just a wee bit dangerous, especially if you were pulling some gang harrows. |

I can't help you with the orchard seat - I do think it was a single seat similar to a WC seat on a spring mount. The orchard units wanted the operator and the tractor to be as low as possible. The picture shown above is the "normal" M.
We had a customer who almost hated everything but he really loved his M - non orchard. Said it was the very best he ever had.
Good Luck!
