Hello IH guys - I have taken some figures down on
this Super M I have, and will pass it on to you for more info hopefully.
The serial # tag on left side of clutch housingsays: model SM serial # F - 12558 ADJ maximum 1600 RPM idle speed
What does the above mean? Where built?
On right side of tractor body between brake
pedals and belt pulley is digits 7-2-X kindof stamped in raised lettering.
Tractor has disc brakes.Left rear axle housing has 7-2-X on it.
Right rear axle housing is 5-28-X on it.
Left wheel has 1 and 1/8 inch wheel bolts.Right wheel has 1 inch wheel bolts. These bolts tighten cast wheels to the axle itself. These are the bolt head size.
Between the light post throttle support, and the
seat, are the digits 221 W ? imbedded in the
floor. These look like recessed numbers, not
raised, and you read this by facing rear oftractor.
Tractor has the little foot lever starter rod.
Tractor has 4 bolt seat, flip back. With shockand big spring.
The hydraulic? pump is mounted in front of belt
pulley housing...a hose from it goes to bottom
side of tractor body below the belt pulley, right
side. This is behind the clutch housing.
Power steering pump on top left side of engine,
generator on opposite right side, with a narrow
belt connecting the 2 with fan pulley. All thisunder the hood.
I am hoping these are the "casting numbers"
someone mentioned that may be needed for some
identification? Other numbers on tractor I
recognize as part numbers, so let me know if
there are spots to check for more of the othernumbers, if needed.
I hope this is a little more thorough, other than
sending you some closeup shots of the tractor. I
can do this later with our digital camera, if I
get a chance, and get them on the computer tosend.
Can you let me know more about this tractor by
what I have sent you? Thanks for your time. It
needs a few things to get it more complete, and
solid, grill is bent a little. The battery is in
a "slide out" metal tray box under the gas tank.
Wiring looks orig. and bare in spots, I have
taped. Engine number I did not try to see, can
do later. It has a little fuel tank, plus the
main one. Runs smooth, seems strong, gears quiet
in all speeds. Oil filter can looks tall, isthis a special filter for it?
Sorry this is long.....what can you tell me about
this Super M? Thank you guys for so very much,
I love this old thing..... .if it is a '53, its
gonna be 50 years old soon !!! Geeeesss...sameyear as my class re-union too !!

You have a Stage I Super M if the hydralics quit when you push the clutch in. This means you have the belly pump (liftall) and not live hydralics. Live hydralics would have a pump mounted in front of the distributor and 2 hoses going to a reservoir under the gas tank.

The 7-2-X etc. are the casting codes for the various parts.

The axle clamp bolts are different on left and right side because someone likely put new bolts in one side. The bolt size is probably the same, but head size can vary depending on the bolt spec and the manufacturer. Some of the IH bolts have smaller heads than standard SAE bolts. Also, bolts can be regular or heavy hex. The heavy bolts have larger heads and nuts, the heavy bolts are usually used for structural work such as beam connections.

Your tractor was built at the FARMALL Plant in Rock Island, IL. A few Super M's were built at the Louisville, KY plant and have an "L" in the serial number.

Thanks Denny for info..... I was thinking it was probably built there....went thru Ill. in '76, and recall lots of red stuff going out on semi trucks along the interstate. Wish I had of tried to tour the IH plant there now.....

Sounds to me like you have one of the first 53 super m's. The tractor has live hydraulics from the sounds of it. The pump is behind the distributer and the lines running under the belt pulley use the lift all pump as a resivior. Also, the power steering would have to be an aftermarket item. Does it have a small power steering motor under the hood or a large unit right behind the steering wheel? Also it sounds like it must be an all fuel model, because of the small gasoline starting tank ahead of the main fuel tank. This is a little rare in the supers. If you still have the original all fuel manifold that would be even better.

Sounds like a nice tractor. Have fun.

Carp - Yes I think it is a distillate model. And all is there yet, the fuel line from the little tank. I am presuming it is a '53, but 1 person suggested a late '52. About the live hydraulics tho, when I put clutch pedal down, hydraulic ceases to work. I am wondering if it can be made to live hydraulics....need to ask somebody about how to go about it.....not an expert mechanic here....I appreciate your info...

Some really smart guy advised the first thing you should do with a new tractor is replace the wiring. Installing new wiring is a good introduction to the tractor but more importantly, bare wiring has resulted in the lost of more than one resterration project. Take lots of pictures and enjoy. Dick
