Wow , you got that one looking really good ! Lots of work gone into that !! I had a hankering when I first got my one to find a narrow front and swap out my wide front , because M’s were built initially as a row crop tractor and felt that yo be more “in keeping” with the theme and it would get a full restoration . I doubt any of the M’s in NZ would have seen service as a row crop tractor as that’s not a “thing” here . But now my views have changed , I’m thinking ,when I get around to it, to more do anything required mechanically but retain the patina that the years of work have given it, what you are saying about the wide front now is further reinforcing that to me .
Here in NZ we also got other different versions that came out of the UK , the BM and later diesel versions the BMD, “B” obviously meaning British, they had a different wide front with the drag link and tie rod behind the axle.
