Was looking over a picture of an M platform in recent Antique Power, and thought of something. Our old M we had way back had some different controls than any others I've ever seen. Now I'm wondering if they were after-market or custom. We had purchased this one at an auction, so could be either.
The Belt Pulley had a curved lever/shaft with a knob on it, then went through a short piece of small pipe (pivot point) attached to the steering post (?), then attached to the lever engaging the pulley. The PTO lever stuck up under the seat just to the right of center. It was similar in that after declutching, you pushed this lever down, which in turn pulled up on the rod that engaged the PTO.
For the brake latch, there was a stiff (#9?) wire attached to the light post with a loop in it that went down to the foot latch. When you stepped on the brakes, you could pull up on this wire, which engaged the brake latch on the floorboard. This had to be some kind of kit I'm thinking. Anyone else seen this out there? Just curious...

The belt pulley thing was sure handy for the corn picker and the pto lever thing was also great for the combine. Also the brake lock thingy. Local welding shop in KEOTA IOWA made all that stuff and DAD would come home from dealer and say put this on and try it. Those thingy deals sure were handy as we did tons of custom work with the M.

The pto lever is likely an M&W product, or a copy of same.

I think M&W also made the lever you describe for engaging the belt pulley.

Several companies made the wire attachment to pull on the brake latch. I have two that I think my Dad purchased at the local IH dealership, but I don't think they were actually an IH product.

I've seen all of those, except for the belt pulley lever. They are aftermarket parts, I doubt if they ever came as a it. I need to build a few of those brake latch attachments.

I would like to see one, I'd like to rig up something, I keep on losing the stick I use to prop it up. The mower eats them. Post a picture or e mail me one, please.
