So I went and did it. Got a 48 M, #163855 for $1700.00. I was a Ford man up until now, but I just wanted an M. To me the M is the most tractory looking tractor out there. It's not like I needed another tractor. I have four now. Anyway I'll have a bunch of questions for you guys. It looks like it had live hydraulics added with a pump in front of the distributor. Looks like it was using the belly pump as a reservoir. The hoses to the rear are gone. And it has a belt pulley that doesn’t turn. Could be low on fluid, there are leaks. What oil goes in the hydraulics? Is there a good site that describes the operation of this type of setup? Thanks in advance.

I use IH Hy-tran in the hydralic. What do you mean the belt pully don't turn? Is it stuck? do you know how to put it in gear?

Sorry I wasn't clear. I pull the lever and nothing happens. I can turn the pulley by hand. What is also unclear to me is how would it work with a live pump on it? In other words I can see having the belly pump hooked to the pulley. And I can see having live hydraulics for remotes. What would happen with a live pump and only the pulley? Probably hoses and/or valves were removed. The guy I got it from knew nothing about the tractor.

the pulley drives from a gear in the transmission. the hydralic setup does not affect it. When you pust in the leaver can you feel it mesh with the gear?

Wow, thanks for getting back so fast. I thought the pulley was hydraulic because it looks like the return line goes into the top of the pulley mount. Duh! So now I realize I don't know how to engage the pulley? The lever I'm pulling I thought was for the hydraulics. It is on the lower right side below and in front of the steering wheel. It Has a three position stopper thing on it. What engages the pulley?

Oh, Ok. there should be a rod down low just a simple rod with the last inch or so bent down at a 90° angle. it hooks to a short arm under the fuel tank, (top of pulley drive)push it forward to engage pulley.

Ok the rod is gone, but I see the lever. It seems to engage nicely. I'll have to get a rod I guess. Thanks so much for getting back to me. You'll see me on this board a lot in the future. I'm sure I'm going to have a ton of questions.

I could make you a rod but it might be easier to measure mine and you could make your own.
