I went and looked at a 51' Farmall M today, and found out that it had live hydraulics, a smaller tank to start on gas, and maybe switch over, and then the unique piece was a lever that runs down below where the belt pulley assembly would be. He said that he had an older fella tell him that it was a hi/low gear transmission lever. Any insite on this subject is greatly appreciatied!!

I saw an M with the lever on the right side at an auction and a man told me it was a lever that would disengage the hydrolic pump. He said the hydrolic pump always runs on all M tractors without this option. It was suppose to save the pump from unneccesary wear by turning the pump off when not needed. I don't know if he is right or not.

Lance, Was your post for me based on the fact I don't know what the right side addtional lever was for to the belly pump? Farmall Daddy and I might be talking about the same thing. It is more of a control rod like the one for the belly pump only goes to a different place. That makes sense to me since it is behind the belly pump and could disengage the driveshaft coming forward from the transmission. I have left my email open if you want to "chat" off forum. Thanks for the input.

Is the lever you mention located on the left or right side of the tractor looking forward? I have a 1951 M with a Heisler overdrive and the lever is on the left side. The lever is located close to and outside of the tractor's regular gear shift. It connects to a shaft that enters the transmission about half way down and below the belt pulley drive unit. Also on the same tractor I have a rod on the right side that runs down and connects into the backside of the belly pump below the clutch housing. Don't really know what that one does since I've never used the hydraulics on the tractor. If the tractor has a Heisler overdrive they are really nice and I believe you would find it a highly desireable feature as Dick stated.

It was an after market "overdrive" (sometimes referred to as a 9 speed transmission - 5th gear is not affected) It was addded to make 1st - 4th faster than regular 4th but less than 5th. It also increased the PTO and not sure about belt speed. It is great for hauling wagons, harrowing, rotory hoeing or other relative high speed farming operations. It is engaged when the clutch is depressed. Hope that helps. Most of us like it for an option. My nickel Dcik Davis

The lever is on the right side of the tractor. Would you guys know what the speed of each gear might be? I have heard of the M&W 9 speed rearends, but I never seen how one was set up. The guy would like $700 for the tractor although it needs an alternator, starter, and carb, but other than that, it is complete and the motor is free. The sheetmetal is in good condition with out a single dent in the hood or gas tank. Would you guys think that this would be a good deal? Thanks!!

That is a good price for that shape a tractor no matter what the after market part is. Go for it, Harley
