I have a 1953 super M with live hydraulics. The hydraulics are not plumbed except for the the supply hose that goes from the reservoir behind the bell housing to the pump that is in front of the distributor. There are two pipes on the left of the reservoir that are capped and two on the right, also capped. The high pressure side of the pump is also capped. When this cap is removed and the tractor started nothing comes out (yes there is fluid in the tractor). The control arm that goes to the belly reservoir does nothing and has no resistance whatsoever, it feels like it is connected to nothing. Underneath the engine oil fill cap just to the front of the pump is a plate that covers a thing that looks like an adjusting screw.
So- Is there a way to turn on/off the pump? Is the pump bad? What is this screw? Does it have any relationship to the hydraulics? Which pipes will be returns for plumbing in a new valve? Where could I find a diagram for the M/Super M hydraulics?
I would like to set this tractor up with three valves so we can run a three point and two other systems
Thanks
