Do you have anywhere to store something that big, or work on it even?

I know I have said this before Daniel.....
I agree with John.

I like this too^^^
Daniel,
If you only have $300 saved up, keep saving. Get you a nice little amount and go from there. FWIW, as much as you love your 147, buy another running Cub, then tear down the 147 and refresh or restore it. New motor, fix the leaks, paint it.... whatever. If you only have enough for a set of Firestone tires, you don't really have much saved up yet. An M is a long way away from $300.
I don't like the letter series IH tractors anyway..... Only good to look at IMHO. Not very useful tractors unless you need a "flunky" tractor on the farm for jockeying wagons and running an auger. But, I know how much you like them.
