Today I bought my biggest tractor to date. A Farmall 504. I ended up having to drive about 4 hours up into Michigan to get it though. She runs, the TA works and so does the tach!!!! About 2500 hours on her. THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN IT AND MY H, WOW! Here are my questions: What is the pull switch on the top left of the dash? It's not the ignition, lights or clutch. It steers hard too (doesn't have power steering...) Is there anything I should check besides lubing everything up? Lastly there are three remotes (two in the front, one in the rear) and two valves. Are the front two plumbed together? Thanks ahead of time for any help!
 
Is the switch the choke?

The front 2 are each on one lever and the rear ports are with one of the front ones.

Wide front will steer harder than narrow, grease and plenty of air in the tires. Don't know about the switch. Good looking tractor.
 
You have an early gas 504. The "switch" is probably for the "aftermarket lights" on the front. It is not OEM. Good buy for $2500. I have a 1962, 504 that I put a 2008 Koyker FEL on. It has been good to me. Mine is diesel with TA. I can post some pictures if you want. Have fun with it. The IPTO beats the H and M any day!!!! The hydraulics are like this, one remote is for the rear, one is for the two up front. Mine was like this, we cut the front loose and made a 2nd rear remote...
