Posting for a friend. Has not been run in two years, was pull started (as relayed to me). $3750.00 Klamath Falls, Oregon. 
Looks pretty clean and straight. Lucky for most of you, I have no indoor parking left, otherwise, I would make the 5 hour ride and buy it for myself! PM me and I can share seller information. Thanks. JM

Juice, why does it have an upright exhaust if it's an orchard. Would that exhaust snag fruit trees?

Model M if my eyes do not deceive me!

Neil, Nothing prevents one from using a tailseat machine in open ground, and yes, anything protruding above the radiator cap is a potential limb catching threat to the operator!
Many of us would be quite happy to have our hearing back from those un-muffled short stacks on orchard cats. Those tall exhaust pipes were a great help in that aspect, and eliminated a lot of the fumes and blowing dirt too.

I wonder why they didn't put mufflers on the low exhausts - maybe it was not considered until well after orchard tractors were a thing?. I love my pony muffler - wouldn't leave home without it : )

Neil: The underslung exhaust pipes offered work nicely to push the noise forward and no "bark" like the vertical stubby pipe. Downfall by some claiming that they eat too much smoke and fumes. I have seen several variants of modified exhaust, some looking like side pipes too. JM
