IN response to question why I don't keep my SMD as a SMD instead of buliding up a SM, I have to say Simple! I don't have an SMD engine! I have a SMD that had a stuck M gas engine in it when I bought it. All I have that is original to the SMD is the rolling chassis and the clutch assembly. The front bolster which is longer on a SMD has been busted and welded so I changed it to an M bolster. So all I really have of the SMD that is any good is the rearend and the mid section. Even the fuel tank had to be changed. I put this tractor together with parts that were just laying around. I will eventually put a SM gas motor in it. To turn it back into a SMD would take parting out another SMD that is in better shape than what I have. As far as value, did you see the guy who bought an M thinking it was a Super M just because it had SM decals on it? All it takes to sell a tractor is pretty paint and decent tires because most people don't even look at the tractor for what it really is.
