1948 International Harvester Farmall MD Tractor $5000

 

The Farmall M tractor was made from 1939 to 1952 by International Harvester. It was a very popular tractor with over 250,000 units produced. The Farmall M was the largest row crop tractor at the time that International Harvester made. It is rated as a three plow tractor with a 248 cid 4 cylinder engine with a 6 volt electrical system. In 1941 IH introduced the MD. This was a diesel version of the M. It would start on gasoline and then when warmed up switched over to diesel.​

 

The precurser to the serial number was FBK for the M, FBKV for the high crop model, FDBK for desiel and FDBKV for high crop desiel.

 

I believe the fly wheel may need replaced as it makes a grinding sound when trying to start it. Once it gets started, it runs beautifully. I also added a hydraulic pump to the PTO since the belly pump went out quite a few years ago.
