The letter series Farmall's were the A, B, C, H, and M. Built from '39-'50 roughly. Those were then replaced by the Super series, Super A, Super C, Super H, and Super M came along about '51, and the Super MTA came along in '54. Super M and SMTA are not physically bigger than a straight M, but are more powerful. In '55, the 00 series replaced the Supers. These were the 100, 200, 300, and 400. In '57, the 00's were replaced by the 30/50 series, the 130, 230, 350, and 450. Once agian, the 400 and 450 are more powerful than a M, but are still pretty much the same size. In '58, the 40/60 series Farmalls came along. These were the 140, 240, the new size 340, the 460, and the 560. The 560 was a little more powerful than a 450, but still basically the same rear end. The difference is that it had a 6-cylinder engine. 560 would be the biggest FARMALL out of the '50's, but doesen't look much like an M. Now let's do the Standard/Wheatland models. These were sold as McCormick-Deerings or Internationals. There was the W-4, which was roughly the same tractor as an H, the W-6 roughly the same as an M, and the W-9, which would be bigger than any letter series Farmall. The W-4, -6 and -9 were also replaced by Supers, then the -4 was dropped and the Super W-6 and -9 were replaced by the W-400 and W-600, then the W-450 and W-650, then the W-560 and W-660. The 660 was the biggest farm tractor built by IH in the '50's. The W-9/SW-9/600/650 are the biggest tractors that resemble an M as far as styling goes.
